Rodents contribute to the life cycle of the protozoan parasite as an intermediate host and key prey animal of cats, the definitive host. As there is limited scientific knowledge available about the incidence and prevalence of in commensal rodents in many Asian countries, we tested rodents from a commercial rice mill and eight local villages in Bangladesh for the presence of DNA using rodent brain material preserved in ethanol. Overall, 10 of 296 (3.4%) rodent samples tested positive for DNA. Our results indicate that rodents present in food production and food storage facilities may carry .
啮齿动物作为中间宿主和猫（终末宿主）的主要猎物，有助于原生动物寄生虫的生命周期。由于关于许多亚洲国家的共生啮齿动物中 的发病率和流行率的科学知识有限，我们使用保存在乙醇中的啮齿动物脑组织，测试了来自孟加拉国一个商业米厂和八个当地村庄的啮齿动物样本中 是否存在 DNA。总的来说，在 296 个啮齿动物样本中，有 10 个（3.4%）样本的 DNA 检测呈阳性。我们的结果表明，存在于粮食生产和储存设施中的啮齿动物可能携带 。
