Popis: ニホンザルの内部寄生虫は、宿主であるニホンザル自体の疾病や死亡原因となるだけでなく、ヒト社会と生息域が重なることにより、公衆衛生上の問題として人獣共通感染症(zoonosis)の病原体ともなりうる。私たちは異なる生息地にすむ二つの野生ニホンザル群から糞を採取、分析、内部寄生虫保有率を比較した。調査対象は、人里に近い帝京科学大学に近接する山梨県大月市の野生ニホンザル群と、無人の宮城県金華山島の野生ニホンザル群である。大月群での内部寄生虫保有率は75%、金華山群では18,8%であり、主たる寄生虫は鞭虫(Trichuris sp.)であった。結果は、二つの群れの自然人為環境の違いが内部寄生虫保有率の違いに影響を与えていることを示唆する。
Endoparasites in Japanese Macaques not only bring harm to their host, but also possibly become the pathogen of zoonosis, because the habitat areas of Japanese Macaques are often close to humans. We collected and examined the fecal sample of wild Japanese Macaques of two troops living in the different habitats, and compared the possession rate of endoparasites. One of the target troops was Kinkazan troop, ranging in the uninhabited Kinkazan island in Miyagi Prefecture, and another was Otsuki troop, ranging near to human habitat in Otsuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture, that is close to Teikyo University Science and Technology. Based on these samples, we performed the fetal examination of endoparasites. The possession rate of endoparasites was 75% in Otuki troop, and 18,8% in Kinkazan troop, and the main endoparasites was Trichuris sp.. The results suggest that the difference of the habitats of both troops influenced on the difference of the possession rate of endoparasites.
