This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of in captive animals in a wildlife facility. This is the first study conducted in these animals from the facility.
Eight captive tigers (), two Palawan bearcats () and one Asian Palm Civet () currently housed at a wildlife facility in Manila, Philippines were considered in 2012. These animals were apparently healthy with no signs of disease during the study. Sample collection was done twice at two months interval where freshly voided fecal samples were grossly examined, characterized and preserved in Sodium Acetate Formalin (SAF). The samples were used to determine the presence of using modified flotation-sedimentation and commercially available immuno-chromatographic assay test kit.
All fecal samples tested were negative for the presence of trophozoites, and cysts using the former. Furthermore, none of the samples tested positive for and antigen using immune-chromatographic assay.
There is no existing infection of among captive tigers, Palawan Bearcats and Asian palm civet housed at the wildlife facility.
本研究旨在确定野生动物设施中圈养动物的[某种寄生虫名称]感染率。这是在该设施的这些动物中进行的首次研究。
2012年对菲律宾马尼拉一家野生动物设施中目前圈养的8只老虎([老虎相关信息])、2只巴拉望熊狸([熊狸相关信息])和1只亚洲棕榈狸([亚洲棕榈狸相关信息])进行了研究。在研究期间,这些动物明显健康,没有疾病迹象。每隔两个月采集一次样本,对新鲜排出的粪便样本进行肉眼检查、特征描述,并保存在醋酸钠福尔马林(SAF)中。使用改良的浮选沉淀法和市售免疫层析检测试剂盒来检测样本中是否存在[某种寄生虫名称]。
使用前者检测时,所有测试的粪便样本中[某种寄生虫名称]滋养体和包囊均为阴性。此外,使用免疫层析检测法时,没有一个样本检测出[某种寄生虫名称]和[另一种寄生虫名称]抗原呈阳性。
在该野生动物设施中圈养的老虎、巴拉望熊狸和亚洲棕榈狸中不存在[某种寄生虫名称]感染。
