Abstract

Mammals housed at the Barcelona Zoo belonging to the orders Carnivora, Artiodactyla, Perissodactyla and Proboscidea were examined for Cryptosporidium infections. A total of 183 fecal samples from 17 carnivores and 34 herbivores revealed patent infections in only 6 herbivore species (5 artiodactyls of the families Bovidae and Giraffidae and 1 perissodactyl of the family Rhinocerotidae); all carnivores were negative. Intensity of infection was found to be generally low. Connochaetes taurinus taurinus, Gazella dorcas neglecta, Kobus ellipsiprymmus and Giraffa camelopardalis constitute new host species for the parasite.

摘要

对巴塞罗那动物园中属于食肉目、偶蹄目、奇蹄目和长鼻目的哺乳动物进行了隐孢子虫感染检测。从17只食肉动物和34只食草动物身上共采集了183份粪便样本，结果显示只有6种草食动物物种（牛科和长颈鹿科的5种偶蹄动物以及犀科的1种奇蹄动物）存在显性感染；所有食肉动物均为阴性。发现感染强度普遍较低。角马指名亚种、苍羚指名亚种、水羚和长颈鹿成为该寄生虫的新宿主物种。
