Wild boars () are distributed worldwide and found in many parts of Iran. Although is reservoirs for many parasites, there is little data on helminthic prevalence in them. We aimed to survey the status of helminthic infections in in the Mazandaran Province of northern Iran.
Twenty-one wild boars were captured and examined for helminth infection during Dec 2012-Mar 2014. Adult worms such as were identified by helminth size and shape, and the arrangement of the proboscis hooks. The sedimentation and flotation techniques were used to detect parasite eggs and larvae in faecal samples. Muscle samples were also surveyed for larvae by artificial digestion method.
Of the 21 samples, 13 (61.9%) were infected with one or more helminth species. Seven helminth types were identified in the alimentary track, comprising 5 nematodes, 1 trematode, and 1 acanthocephalan, with prevalence rates of (57.14%) spp. (33.33%) (19.04), (14.28%), (14.28%), (4.76%), and (4.76%).
Wild boars might be involved in transmitting zoonotic parasites to humans. The abundance of these animals near human habitation creates favorable conditions for infection. So the risk of parasitic helminth diseases increases in other animals and humans.
野猪分布于世界各地，在伊朗的许多地区都有发现。尽管野猪是多种寄生虫的宿主，但关于它们体内蠕虫感染率的数据却很少。我们旨在调查伊朗北部马赞德兰省野猪的蠕虫感染状况。
2012年12月至2014年3月期间，捕获了21头野猪并检查其蠕虫感染情况。通过蠕虫的大小、形状以及吻钩的排列来识别诸如等成虫。采用沉淀法和浮选法检测粪便样本中的寄生虫卵和幼虫。还通过人工消化法对肌肉样本进行了猪囊尾蚴幼虫的检测。
在21个样本中，13个（61.9%）感染了一种或多种蠕虫种类。在消化道中鉴定出7种蠕虫类型，包括5种线虫、1种吸虫和1种棘头虫，其感染率分别为（57.14%）、（33.33%）、（19.04%）、（14.28%）、（14.28%）、（4.76%）和（4.76%）。
野猪可能参与了人畜共患寄生虫向人类的传播。这些动物在人类居住地附近数量众多，为感染创造了有利条件。因此，其他动物和人类感染寄生蠕虫疾病的风险增加。
