is a zoonotic vector-borne parasite of dogs and cats. It is not commonly found in every part of Thailand, except the southern part. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of this parasite in Eastern Thailand in 2019.
A total of 8003 blood samples were collected from private veterinary clinics and animal hospitals in Eastern Thailand. Blood parasites were examined using buffy coat thin blood smears with Wright-Giemsa staining. was morphologically identified and confirmed using the acid phosphatase activity technique.
The first case of was found in March 2019. The prevalence of from January to December 2019 was 0.44% (35/8003) (95% confidence interval 0.30-0.61).
The prevalence data of in Eastern Thailand indicate that this parasitic infection should be considered as a zoonotic vector-borne disease. A strategic plan to control zoonotic transmission alongside a preventive program should be emphasized and encouraged among pet owners and veterinarians.
[寄生虫名称未给出]是一种寄生于犬猫的人畜共患媒介传播寄生虫。除泰国南部外，在泰国各地并不常见。本研究旨在调查2019年泰国东部地区这种寄生虫的流行情况。
从泰国东部的私人兽医诊所和动物医院共采集了8003份血样。使用含白细胞层的薄血涂片经瑞氏-吉姆萨染色检查血液寄生虫。[寄生虫名称未给出]通过酸性磷酸酶活性技术进行形态学鉴定和确认。
2019年3月发现了首例[寄生虫名称未给出]病例。2019年1月至12月[寄生虫名称未给出]的流行率为0.44%（35/8003）（95%置信区间0.30 - 0.61）。
泰国东部地区[寄生虫名称未给出]的流行数据表明，这种寄生虫感染应被视为人畜共患媒介传播疾病。应在宠物主人和兽医中强调并鼓励制定控制人畜共患传播的战略计划以及预防方案。
