Abstract

U radu je istraživana učestalost pojedinih patoloških promjena i uzroka uginuća u životinja iz zooloških vrtova na području Republike Hrvatske, čije su lešine dostavljene na patalošku dijagnostiku na Zavod za veterinarsku patologiju Veterinarskog fakulteta u Zagrebu, u razdoblju od šest godina (1.1.2009. – 31.12.2014.).
Od ukupno 247 obrađenih životinja, 243 je bilo iz Zoološkog vrta grada Zagreba, a samo 4 iz Zoološkog vrta grada Osijeka. Daleko najviše je bilo sisavaca (127), zatim ptica (60), gmazova (57), te naposlijetku vodozemaca (3). U vodozemaca su zabilježena tri različita uzroka uginuća (septikemija, amiloidoza i enteritis). U gmazova je kao najučestaliji uzrok uginuća utvrđena infekcija, a rijeđi su trauma i degenerativne bolesti. U ptica je najučestaliji uzrok uginuća bila trauma, a zatim slijedi infekcija te degenerativne promjene. Kod sisavaca je kao najučestaliji uzrok uginuća utvrđena upala pluća, slijedi septikemija, te traume i upala crijeva.
Ukupni razultati našeg istraživanja pokazuju da se uzroci uginuća životinja u Zoološkom vrtu grada Zagreba ne razlikuju značajno od uzroka uginuća navedenih u literaturi, te da prevladavaju infekciozne bolesti, dok je udio trauma i parazitarnih invazija manji u odnosu na rezultate prezentirane u nama dostupnim literaturnim navodima. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju opravdanost patoloških pretraga radi bolje kontrole bolesti te upravljanja životinjama, ali i u prevenciji širenja zoonotskih bolesti.

Abstract (english)

This study investigates the incidence of some pathological changes and causes of deaths in zoo animals in the Republic of Croatia, whose carcasses were submitted to pathological analysis to the Department of Veterinary Pathology at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Zagreb in a six years period (1.1.2009 - 31.12.2014).
Out of a total of 247 processed animals, 243 were from the Zoological Garden of Zagreb, and only 4 from the Zoological Garden of Osijek. The most common submitted animals were mammals (127), birds (60), reptiles (57) and les common amphibians (3). There were three different causes of death (septicemia, amyloidosis and enteritis) diagnosed in the amphibians. In the reptiles, the most common cause of death was infection, and traumas and degenerative diseases were also among more prevalent causes. In the birds, the most frequent cause of death was trauma, followed by infection and degenerative changes. In the mammals, the most common cause of death was lung inflammation, followed by septicemia, and trauma and inflammation of the intestine.
The overall results of our research show that the causes of deaths of animals in the Zoo of Zagreb are not significantly different from the causes of deaths mentioned in the literature, and that infectious diseases prevail, while the proportion of traumas and parasitic invasions is lower compared to the results presented in the literature available to us. The results of our study confirms application of pathological for better dissases control and prevention of spreading of zoonotic diseases.
