Ninety-two fecal samples were collected from leopards (Panthera pardus, n = 54), tigers (P. tigris, n = 19), and leopard cats (Felis bengalensis, n = 3) in Huai Kha Wildlife Sanctuary, Thailand; four samples that may have come from clouded leopards (Neofelis nebulosa) or Asian golden cats (Felis temminicki) were identified as from small to medium cats. Twelve samples were identified as from large cats. Samples preserved in 10% formalin were examined for parasite eggs, larvae, cysts, and oocysts by centrifugal sugar flotation and sedimentation techniques. Ninety-six percent of all samples were positive, including 94% of the leopard, all of the tiger, clouded leopard, golden cat, and leopard cat samples. Diagnostic stages were identified from Paragonimus sp., Echinostomatidae, Dicrocoeliidae, Pseudophyllidea, Taeniidae, Mesocestoides sp., Hymenolepididae, Acanthocephala, Spiruroidea, Gnathostoma sp., Molineus sp., Ancylostomoidea, Mammomonogamus sp., Toxocara sp., Toxascaris sp., Metastrongyloidea, Capillaria spp., Isospora sp., Toxoplasma-like, Sarcocystis spp., and Giardia sp.
从泰国怀卡野生动物保护区的豹（Panthera pardus，n = 54）、老虎（P. tigris，n = 19）和豹猫（Felis bengalensis，n = 3）身上采集了92份粪便样本；4份可能来自云豹（Neofelis nebulosa）或亚洲金猫（Felis temminicki）的样本被鉴定为来自中小型猫科动物。12份样本被鉴定为来自大型猫科动物。通过离心糖浮选和沉淀技术，对保存在10%福尔马林中的样本进行寄生虫卵、幼虫、囊肿和卵囊检查。所有样本中有96%呈阳性，包括94%的豹样本、所有老虎、云豹、金猫和豹猫样本。从并殖吸虫属、棘口科、双腔科、假叶目、带科、中殖孔绦虫属、膜壳科、棘头虫纲、旋尾目、颚口线虫属、莫林线虫属、钩口总科、兽比翼线虫属、弓首蛔虫属、弓蛔虫属、后圆线虫总科、毛细属、等孢球虫属、类弓形虫、肉孢子虫属和贾第虫属中鉴定出诊断阶段。
