A coprological survey of parasites of wild carnivores in Ireland
Original language description
The increasing movement of people to wilderness areas, shrinking of wildlife habitats and the resulting urbanisation of wildlife has led to growing concerns about the transfer of parasitic diseases, particularly from contaminated faeces. Faecal samples from wild carnivores in Ireland were examined for the presence of protozoan and nematode parasites. Red fox samples were positive for Uncinaria stenocephala, Eucoleus aerophilus , Toxocara canis , Trichuris vulpis and Isospora-like oocysts. Badger (Melesmeles) samples were positive for Uncinaria criniformis , E. aerophilus and Isospora-like oocysts. No parasites were observed in pine marten faeces. Approximately 5 % of American mink samples were positive for Cryptosporidium by polymerase chain reaction,identified as Cryptosporidium andersoni and ´mink´ genotype. The results suggest that wild carnivores in Ireland have a range of parasites, although it is unclear from the present study to what extent these infections are associated with
