Surveillance of Endoparasitic Infections and the First Report of Physaloptera sp and Sarcocystis spp. in Farm Rodents and Shrews in Central Taiwan
A total or 95 rodents and shrews including 82 Rattus norvegeicus, 7 Rattus rattus, and 6 Suncus murinus were trapped from different localities of Taichung, Taiwan. The overall prevalence of parasites was 93.7%. The infection rates for R. norvegeicus, R. rattus, and S. murinus were 93.9%, 95.7%, and...
