Cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis have been identified as emerging diseases in both developed and developing countries. Wildlife has been highlighted to play a major role in the spread of these diseases to humans. This review aims to highlight the research findings that relate to spp. and spp., with a focus on (1) parasitism of neo-tropical hystricomorphic rodents and marsupials from the genus Didelphis and (2) prevention and treatment strategies for humans and animals for the neo-tropical region. It was found that there are few studies conducted on neo-tropical rodent and marsupial species, but studies that were found illustrated the potential role these animals may play as zoonotic carriers of these two parasites for the neo-tropical region. Thus, it is recommended that further studies be done to assess the threat of protozoan parasites in neo-tropical wildlife to humans and domestic animals, and to further determine the most effective prophylaxis adapted for the unique conditions of the region.
隐孢子虫病和贾第虫病在发达国家和发展中国家均被视为新出现的疾病。野生动物在这些疾病传播给人类的过程中起着重要作用。本综述旨在突出与[具体物种1]和[具体物种2]相关的研究发现,重点关注:(1)新热带区豪猪型啮齿动物以及袋鼬属有袋动物的寄生虫感染情况;(2)新热带区人类和动物的预防及治疗策略。研究发现,针对新热带区啮齿动物和有袋动物物种的研究较少,但已有的研究表明,这些动物可能作为这两种寄生虫在新热带区的人畜共患病载体发挥潜在作用。因此,建议开展进一步研究,以评估新热带区野生动物中原生动物寄生虫对人类和家畜的威胁,并进一步确定最适合该地区独特条件的有效预防措施。
