This study aims to record and update the prevalence and intensity of external and internal parasites in working donkeys () in Egypt during the period from January to December 2017.
A total of 120 donkeys (10 donkeys each month) were examined at Giza zoo abattoir through bimonthly visits. The examined donkeys were obtained from five governorates (Giza [20], Fayoum [40], Beni Suef [30], Monofia [20], and Assiut [10]). The animals were grouped according to age and sex.
All examined donkeys were positive with at least one internal or even external parasitic species. The overall prevalence rate was 100%. A total of 11 helminths species (10 nematodes and 1 metacestode); 7 protozoal and 7 arthropod species were collected. The number of each parasite and intensity of infection with regard to age and sex was recorded.
All examined donkeys were infected with parasites with an overall prevalence of 100%. So, we recommended following up and continuous treatment of such diseased animal.
本研究旨在记录并更新2017年1月至12月期间埃及工作用驴()体内外寄生虫的流行率和感染强度。
通过每两个月一次的走访,在吉萨动物园屠宰场对总共120头驴(每月10头)进行检查。这些被检查的驴来自五个省份(吉萨[20头]、法尤姆[40头]、贝尼苏韦夫[30头]、莫诺菲亚[20头]和阿斯尤特[10头])。这些动物按年龄和性别分组。
所有被检查的驴至少感染一种体内或体外寄生虫,总体流行率为100%。共收集到11种蠕虫(10种线虫和1种中绦期幼虫)、7种原生动物和7种节肢动物。记录了每种寄生虫的数量以及按年龄和性别划分的感染强度。
所有被检查的驴都感染了寄生虫,总体流行率为100%。因此,我们建议对这类患病动物进行跟踪和持续治疗。
