This communication aimed to determine the frequency of infection by and other gastrointestinal parasites in free-living cats captured in BioParque do Rio (Fundação RioZoo), Brazil. To this end, 58 blood and 51 fecal samples were collected from 68 cats from July 2019 to September 2020. The serum obtained was analyzed by indirect fluorescent antibody test for anti- IgG. Fecal samples were examined by microscopic parasitological techniques. Of the total, 10.3% of the animals presented anti- IgG. Parasitic structures were observed in 39.2% of the fecal samples. Hookworms were the most detected parasites (19.6%) followed by sp. (11.7%), (7.8%) and (3.9%). These results indicated the exposure of this population of stray cats to potentially zoonotic parasites, which in addition to causing possible damage to domestic and wild animal health, also pose risks to public health.
本通讯旨在确定巴西里约热内卢生物公园(里约动物园基金会)捕获的自由放养猫感染 及其他胃肠道寄生虫的频率。为此,在2019年7月至2020年9月期间,从68只猫身上采集了58份血液样本和51份粪便样本。通过间接荧光抗体试验分析获得的血清中的抗 - IgG。粪便样本通过显微镜寄生虫学技术进行检查。在所有动物中,10.3%的动物呈现抗 - IgG。在39.2%的粪便样本中观察到寄生虫结构。钩虫是检测到最多的寄生虫(19.6%),其次是 属(11.7%)、 (7.8%)和 (3.9%)。这些结果表明这群流浪猫接触到了潜在的人畜共患寄生虫,这除了可能对家养和野生动物健康造成损害外,也对公共卫生构成风险。
