Summary The necropsy of a leopard (Panthera pardus), succumbed to a chronic ailment exhibited a mixed parasitic gastroenteritis. Gross internal examination of carcass revealed the presence of round and tapeworms in the stomach and intestines with diffuse catarrhal and hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. The detailed examination of the intestinal content revealed the presence of Toxocara canis and Spirometra species eggs. Also, the gross morphological investigation of round and tapeworms approved the presence of both species. Histo-pathological examination showed sloughing of intestinal epithelium, hemorrhages, and ulcerative areas with the infiltration of polymorphonuclear cells admixed with mononuclear cells. Lungs revealed the accumulation of eosinophilic edematous fl uid in the alveolar spaces along with inflammatory cells. These parasites are pathogenic to precious wild felids and often pose a threat of zoonotic transmission due to spill-over infections. The present case study is an attempt to put on record a case of parasitic gastroenteritis in a captive leopard.

豹Panthera pardus并发蠕虫病引起胃肠炎

总结 一只死于慢性疾病的豹子 (Panthera pardus) 的尸体剖检显示出混合性寄生虫胃肠炎。尸体的大体内部检查显示胃和肠中存在圆形和绦虫，伴有弥漫性卡他性和出血性胃肠炎。对肠道内容物的详细检查表明存在犬弓首蛔虫和螺旋体物种的卵。此外，圆形和绦虫的总体形态学研究证实了这两种物种的存在。组织病理学检查显示肠上皮脱落、出血和溃疡区域，多形核细胞与单核细胞混合浸润。肺显示在肺泡腔内积聚了嗜酸性水肿性液体和炎症细胞。这些寄生虫对珍贵的野生猫科动物具有致病性，并且经常由于溢出感染而构成人畜共患传播的威胁。本案例研究试图记录一例圈养豹的寄生性胃肠炎病例。
