    Detección de parásitos intestinales con potencial zoonótico en hospedadores herbívoros silvestres cautivos
    (Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025-12-05) Arboleda Franco, Catalina; Barbosa Vinasco, Hamilton Julián (Director); Peña Stadlin, Juliana (Directora)
    Intestinal parasite infections remain a major public health concern, particularly in developing countries where their prevalence is high. In wildlife, these organisms gain importance due to their potential role as zoonotic reservoirs, especially in captivity or ecotourism-related settings. This study analyzed fecal samples from six captive herbivorous wildlife species at the Cali Zoo Foundation: plains zebra (Equus quagga), mountain tapir (Tapirus pinchaque), lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris), blackbuck antelope (Antilope cervicapra), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), and collared peccary (Pecari tajacu). Using direct smear, fecal flotation with Sheather’s solution, and PCR, Strongyloides spp. was identified in samples from zebra, deer, and antelope. Molecular analyses revealed prevalences of Blastocystis spp. (87.5%), Giardia spp. (75%), and Cryptosporidium spp. (37.5%). These findings confirm the presence of intestinal parasites with zoonotic potential in captive wildlife and highlight the importance of continuous health monitoring in managed wildlife populations.
