Abstract
|
|
|
For the development of the specific pathogen free (SPF) or germ free laboratory animals, a parasitological survey was carried out and numerous pinworms were collected from the large intestines and caeca of the host animal Mus musculus alba.
The pinworms collected from the laboratory albino mice were identified as Aspiculuris tetraptera, Syphacia muris and S. obvelata and classified into the Family Oxyuridae, Superfamily Oxyuroidea, Order Ascaridida.
The overall infection rate of the pinworms was revealed as high as 64.8%(A. tetraptera 31.0%; S. muris 32.4% and S. obvelata 22.5%) consisting of the single species infection 47.9%, the double species infection 12.7% and the triple species infection 4.2%.
