摘要: The discovery of Trichinella zimbabwensis in farm crocodiles Zimbabwe has opened up a new frontier the epidemiology genus. objective present study was to investigate infectivity encapsulated species (T. spiralis, T. nativa, britovi, murrelli and nelsoni) non-encapsulated pseudospiralis, papuae zimbabwensis) caimans (Caiman crocodilus), varans (Varanus exanthematicus), pythons (Python molurus bivittatus) turtles (Pelomedusa subrufa) raised at their natural temperature range (26-32 degrees C). Mice chickens were used as controls. At 6 days post-infection (p.i.), adult worms detected small intestine reptiles infected with zimbabwensis, pseudospiralis mice all species. 60 p.i., collected from larvae muscles four reptile species, chickens, mouse muscles. highest reproductive capacity index both observed varans. results show that are able complete entire life-cycle poikilothermic homoiothermic animals.
