- W8532359 abstract "The objectives of this study were to determine the rodent host species, to identify theparasites they harbor and to record those parasites that are of zoonotic importance. Atotal of 204 rodents were examined from four selected habitats in the states ofSelangor and Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. The rodents were captured alive from fiveurban sites in Kuala Lumpur, rice fields in Tanjung Karang, a coastal area in PortDickson and a Primary Forest Reserve in Gombak, Selangor. Standard laboratoryparasitological and statistical analyses were used. Fourteen different rodent speciesbelonging to three different mammalian groups were identified. Rattus rattus diardiiwas the predominant rodent species (67%) trapped and examined. The studyrevealed 53.9 % of the rodents examined had at least one species of helminth. Atotal of 21 helminth species (7 cestodes, 12 nematodes, 1 trematode and 1acanthocephala) were recovered. Gongylonema neoplasticum, Nippostrongylusbraziliensis, Hepatojarkus malayae, Heterakis supomosa, Capillaria hepatica Raillietina sp. Hymenolepis nana, H.diminuta, Hymenolepis sp. and Taeniataeniaeformis were the predominant helminth species identified. The helminths ofzoonotic importance: Capillaria hepatica, Rictularia tani, Angiostrongylus sp.,Taenia taeniaeformis, Hymenolepis nana, H. diminuta, Raillietina sp, Moniliformisdubius, Armillifer moniliformis were also found. Trypanosoma sp. was the onlyblood parasite found in the 204 rodents examined. Fourty seven percent of therodents were found to be infested with at least one of the 20 species of ecto-parasitesrecovered. The common ecto-parasites recovered were Laelaps nuttali, L.echidnanus, L. sculpturata, Polyplax spinulosa, Hoplopleura pacifica, Ixodesgranulatus, Dermacentor sp. and Haemaphysalis sp. The ecto-parasites that are ofhuman medical importance are Laelaps sp., Gahrlepia sp., Walchiella sp.,Ornthonyssus bacoti, Haemaphysalis sp., Dermacentor sp., Ambloyomma sp. andIxodes sp. and Xenopsylla cheopis. A total of 147 ecto-parasites (ticks, n=15, fleas,n= 31, lice, n=30 and mites, n=71) were recovered from the rodents. Rattus rattusdiardii was found to harbour a wide range of ecto and endo-parasites some of whichhave been identified as zoonotic. There was no significant relationship between thesex of rodents and parasitic infestion. However, significant association was seenbetween ecto and endo-parasitic infection and habitats. Rodents from the urbanhabitats comparatively were found to harbour a wider range of parasites, some ofwhich are of human medical importance." @default.
