BACKGROUND
The lungworm, Perostrongylus (fomerly known as ) has been identified in badgers () in Britain, the Russian Federation, Italy, Norway, Poland, Ukraine, Bosnia Herzegovina and Romania, while has been reported from badgers in Spain.
RESULTS
Pulmonary tissue from 1580 Irish badgers was examined and an estimated prevalence of 32.09% (95% CI: 29.79-34.45%) of this parasite was detected. Confirmation of its occurrence was made by PCR analysis on a subset of the population.
CONCLUSION
Infestation was widely distributed throughout the Republic of Ireland, with a trend towards higher infestation risk in western versus eastern counties. In addition males were at a higher risk of infestation than females and juveniles were at a significantly higher risk than adult badgers.
背景
在英国、俄罗斯联邦、意大利、挪威、波兰、乌克兰、波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那以及罗马尼亚的獾体内已发现肺线虫（Perostrongylus，以前称为 ），而在西班牙的獾体内也报告发现了 。
结果
对1580只爱尔兰獾的肺组织进行了检查，检测到该寄生虫的估计患病率为32.09%（95%置信区间：29.79 - 34.45%）。通过对一部分獾群进行PCR分析确认了其存在。
结论
感染在爱尔兰共和国广泛分布，西部各县的感染风险有高于东部各县的趋势。此外，雄性獾的感染风险高于雌性，幼年獾的感染风险显著高于成年獾。
