Intestinal Parasitic Infections Of Rare Wild Animals And Their Morphology,

Wild animals is an important part of the biosphere, also precious wealth of mankind. China has many wild animals, but China also has many endangered wildlife. The reason of endangered wild animals can be divided into the external and internal. External is caused by man-made factors, internal is genetic failure and disease. Parasitic disease two characteristics:easy infectious and transmission diversity, make it become the major disease harm wildlife. The wildlife conservation organization, such as animals zoo provides security for wild animals, but the wild animals will be gathered in a particular space and parasitic infection or cross infection risk increases. This paper has important significance in both wildlife protection and zoonoses research.Parasitic infection of rare wild animals in a protection institution in Shaanxi and Qinghai Province, China was investigated. Feces of a total of 207 wild lives from 19 different species were examined for intestinal parasites using wet mount smear and iodine staining, and digital micro-photography were taken for positive specimens. Results:A total of 30 species of intestinal parasites were detected; The overall infection rate of parasites was 86.47%; All the wild animals are different degree of infected with the parasite except the Ailurus fulgens and Panthera pardus; In the parasite infection, Blastocystis sp, Entamoebidae Protozoon, Eimeria sp. and Ascaridia sp.were have high rate of infection and extensive host. The parasite mixed infection results showed:Most animals infected with 1 parasite, parasites mixed infection species negatively correlated with mixed infection. The survey also found that 12 zoonoses, suggesting zookeepers, field workers should be paid attention to the contact with wild animals.
