Zusammenfassung: | In Iran, wild boar is distributed throughout the country, except the Central Desert. One of the important habitats of this animal is the northern mountainous area. They may pass infected faeces in these areas, which can lead to zoonotic disease, though information about parasitic infections in wild boar is rare in Iran and further study is necessary. In February 2019, a wild boar carcass was submitted to the Veterinary Parasitology Department of the Science and Research University of Tehran by the Department of Environment of Mazandaran province in order to study its parasitic infections. Faeces and the gastrointestinal tract were separated and their contents were tested using two flotation methods (Willis and Clayton-Lane), and the samples were referred to the Parasitology Laboratory of Urmia University for further study. The sample was infected with Eimeria protozoa; Eimeria porci and Eimeria neodebliecki were diagnosed based on the size and morphology factors of the isolated oocysts. This is the first report of wild boar infection by Eimeria sp. protozoa in Iran.
Iranske divlje svinje mogu se pronaći u cijeloj zemlji, osim u središnjoj pustinji Irana. Jedno od važnih staništa ove životinje nalazi se u sjevernom planinskom području Irana. Na tom području divlje svine najvjerojatnije izbacuju zaraženi feces, ili prolaze pokraj zaraženih fecesa drugih jedinki što može prouzročiti zoonoze. Međutim, informacije o parazitskim infekcijama divljih svinja u Iranu su rijetke, stoga je potrebno provesti više studija u svezi parazita ove životinje. U veljači 2019. godine truplo divlje svinje poslano je od strane Odjela za ekologiju provincije Mazandaran Odjelu za veterinarsku parazitologiju Sveučilišta za znanost i istraživanje u Teheranu kako bi se proučile njezine parazitske infekcije. Feces i gastrointestinalni trakt su odvojeni i njihov je sadržaj ispitan uporabom dviju metoda flotacije (Willis i Clayton-Lane). Uzorci su poslani i u Parazitološki laboratorij Sveučilišta Urmia za dodatne pretrage. Na temelju veličine i morfoloških čimbenika izoliranih oocista uzorak je bio infestiran protozoom Eimeria; dijagnosticirane su Eimeria porci i Eimeria neodebliecki. Ovo je prvo izvješće o infekciji divlje svinje s protozoom Eimeria sp. u Iranu. |
