摘要

自民國84年5月至85年3月對大臺北地區流浪犬96隻、貓95隻進行內寄生蟲調查，發現流浪犬的內寄生蟲盛行率為89.6%，蟲相、盛行率及感染頭數分別為：犬鉤蟲55%（53/96），心絲蟲43%（41/96），犬蛔蟲27%（26/96），獅子蛔蟲1%（1/96），桿線蟲1%（1/96），瓜實絛蟲52%（50/96），廣節裂頭絛蟲1%（1/96），犬球蟲（Isospora canis）1%（1/96）。流浪貓的內寄生蟲盛行率為82.1%，蟲相及盛行率分別為：貓鉤蟲44%（42/95），貓蛔蟲42%（40/95），心絲蟲4%（4/95），桿線蟲2%（2/95），毛細線蟲2%（1/95），瓜實絛蟲27%（26/95），豆狀絛蟲5%（5/95），貓絛蟲3%（3/95），孟松裂頭絛蟲（Spirometra mansonoides）3%（3/95），廣節裂頭絛蟲（Diphyllobothrium latum）1%（1/95），球蟲（Isospora bigemina 6%-6/95,Isospora rivolta 3%-3/95）。在討論中特別以獸醫公共衛生學的觀點來探討流浪犬、貓、環境、與人類之互動關係。本調查可提供公共衛生學及流行病學之參考。

The following study on the spread of zoonotic endoparasites on stray dogs and cats in the Taipei city vicinity took place from May of 1995 to March of 1996. Our data for testing zoonotic endoparasites consisted of 96 stray dogs and 95 stray cats. We conducted autopsy for worms detection. Through these methods, we found that 89.6% of stray dogs were infected with endoparasites. These endoparasites can be broken down in the following: 55% (53/96) of Ancylostoma caninum, 43% (41/96) of Dirofilaria immitis, 27% (26/96) of Toxocara canis, 1% (1/96) of Toxascaris leonina, 1 % (1/ 96) of Strongyloides stercoralis, 52% (50/96) of Dipylidium caninum, 1% (1/96) of Diphyllobothrium latum, and 1 % (1/96) of Isospora canis. For stray cats, we found that 82.1 % of stray cats were infected with endoparasites. Like the endoparasites found in stray dogs, the endoparasites in stray cats can also be broken down in the following: 44% (42/95) of Ancylostoma tubaeforme, 42% (40/95) of Toxocara cati, 27% (26/95) of Dipylidium caninum, 4% (4/95) of Dirofilaria immitis, 2% (3/95) of Strongyloides stercoralis, 2% (2/95) of Gapillaria spp., 5% (5/95) of Taenia pisiformis, 3% (3/95) of Spirometra mansonoides, 1 % (1/95) of Diphy llobothrium latum, 6% (6/95) of Isospora bigemina, and 3% (3/95) of Isospora rivolta. The brief summary above represents our preliminary investigation on the relationship between stray dogs, cats, man, and the urban enviroment. We believe that our data will be as a point of useful reference for epidemiology. As veterinarians concerned with the question of public health, we feel that the increase in the number of stray dogs and cats in the Taipei vicinity in recent years is not only a problem of urban developement, but more importantly, it is also a problem of public health. Thus, as our study shows, the majority of stray dogs and cats in the Taipei city could be carriers of infectious diseases, and as a result, baneful to public health.
