Abstract

Lisica (Vulpes vulpes) je nositelj brojnih parazita koji mogu u odgovarajućim okolnostima predstavljati opasnost za zdravlje ljudi i domaćih životinja. Iz takvih je razloga praćenje parazitskog statusa lisica, posebice onih koje se nalaze u neposrednoj blizini čovjeka, poput prigradskih i gradskih lisica, od iznimne važnosti. Ovdje se ubrajaju i lisice u različitim parkovima gdje je aktivnost ljudi i kućnih ljubimaca povećana te postoji i povećan rizik od međusobnog prijenosa različitih... More uzročnika bolesti. U ovom radu prikazani su rezultati makroskopske i dodatnih pretraga probavnog sustava 28 lisica sa područja Parka prirode Medvednica prikupljenih u okviru provedbe Programa zaštite divljači. Parazitska fauna pretraživanih lisica zastupljena je s predstavnicima oblića, trakavica, metilja, praživotinja i kokcidija. Ukupno je utvrđeno 13 parazita determiniranih na razini vrste ili roda: Trichuris vulpis, Toxocara canis, Ancylostoma caninum, Toxascaris leonina, Trichinella sp., Uncinaria stenocephala, Spirocerca lupi, Mesocestoides sp., Alaria alata, Isospora sp., Eimeria sp., Strongyloides sp. i Giardia duodenalis. Najveći broj različitih parazita utvrđenih u jednoj lisici je 7. Od potencijalno zoonotskih i zoonotskih parazita najučestaliji je T. vulpis (89%), a slijede ga T. canis (39%), A. caninum (36%), U. stenocephala (7%), Trichinella spp. (3,6%) i G. duodenalis (3,6%). Usporedbom prema revirima i prema spolu lisice nisu utvrđene statistički značajne razlike, osim u slučaju oblića T. canis usporedbom revira 3 i 7 (χ2 = 5,00, p = 0,025). Istraživanje je pokazalo veliku raznovrsnost parazitske faune lisica sa područja PP Medvednica kao i možebitni značaj za veterinarsko javno zdravstvo i zdravlje kućnih ljubimaca. Less

Abstract (english)

Red fox (Vulpes vulpes) can carry numerous parasites that can represent potential risks to human health and health of domestic animals, when in adequate conditions. From that reasons it is essential to monitor regularly parasitic status of foxes, especially those that reside in close vicinity to humans, like suburban and urban foxes. Animals inhabiting Natural and National Parks where human and pets activities are increased leading to higher risks of mutual transmission of various... More pathogens, should be also monitored. In this research results of macroscopic and additional analysis of gastrointestinal system from 28 foxes collected at Nature Park ‘’Medvednica’’ are presented. Foxes were collected within conduction of Game Protection Program. Parasitic fauna of analysed foxes is composed of nematodes, tapeworms, trematodes and protozoans. In total, 13 different parasites, determined at the level of species or genus, were recovered: Trichuris vulpis, Toxocara canis, Ancylostoma caninum, Toxascaris leonina, Trichinella sp., Uncinaria stenocephala, Spirocerca lupi, Mesocestoides spp., Alaria alata, Isospora sp., Eimeria sp., Strongyloides sp. and Giardia duodenalis. Highest recovered number of parasite from one animal was 7. Of potentially zoonotic and zoonotic parasites highest prevalence was determined for T. vulpis (89%), followed by T. canis (39%), A. caninum (36%), U. stenocephala (7%), Trichinella sp. (3.6%) and G. duodenalis (3.6%). When compared according to districts and gender no statistically significant differences were observed, except in the case of nematode T. canis when districts 3 and 7 were compared (χ2 = 5,00, p = 0,025). This research has shown high diversity of red fox parasitic fauna on the area of NP Medvednica, as well as potential significance for veterinary public health and health of domestic animals. Less
