摘要: Chimpanzees in the Copenhagen Zoo frequently excrete ascarid worms onto cage floor spite of a regular anthelmintic treatment program. Previously it had been shown that source infections was pig origin. However, unknown whether recurrence infection due to reintroduction eggs from an external or sustained transmission cycle within zoo. We found isolated were able embryonate infective J3 stage and PCR-RFLP analysis on ITS region amplified single embryonated suggest these be Ascaris suum. In addition, sequence cox1 gene ('barcoding') expelled followed by cluster revealed chimpanzees are infected with A. suum which now, control efforts, has stabilized into permanent zoo's chimpanzee troop.
