Six parasitic helminths detected were Ancylostoma sp., Opisthorchis felineus, Toxocara mystrax, Hepaticola hepatica, Taenia sp. and Hydatigera taeniaeformis. The prevalence of H. hepatica, T. mystrax and H. taeniaeformis is associated with rodents hunted by cats, and that of O. felineus with fish fed to cats. The role of cats as primary host and reservoir for these helminths, which could be of zoonotic importance, is briefly mentioned.
检测到的六种寄生蠕虫分别是钩口线虫属、猫后睾吸虫、神秘弓首蛔虫、肝毛细线虫、带绦虫属和泡状带绦虫。肝毛细线虫、神秘弓首蛔虫和泡状带绦虫的感染率与猫捕食的啮齿动物有关，而猫后睾吸虫的感染率与喂给猫的鱼有关。简要提及了猫作为这些可能具有人畜共患病重要性的蠕虫的主要宿主和储存宿主的作用。
