Abstract

Objective To provide basic data for understanding and preventing the spread of zoonotic parasitic diseases caused by Marmota baibacina across the border between China and Mongolia. Methods In 2019, M. baibacina was captured by patrol and trapping in the border area of China-Mongolia Hongshanzui port, and investigated the distribution and epidemiological characteristics of intestinal parasites in M. baibacina. The species of the parasites was identified after hematoxylin staining, dehydration, xylene clearing, and paraffin embedding. Results Two species of parasites, Paranoplocephala ryjikovi and Baylisascaris laevis, were found in the intestine of 50 M. baibacina, with an overall infection rate of 84.00%. A total of 321 parasites were obtained, with infection intensities of 2-80. Excretion of tapeworm segments from the marmots was observed, and eggs were detected in feces. The infection was prevalent across the whole border area of Hongshanzui. Conclusion It is the first time to find P. ryjikovi and B. laevis in the intestine of M. baibacina in the border area of China-Mongolia Hongshanzui port, which provides a basis for preventing the international spread of zoonotic parasitic diseases across the China-Mongolia border area and promoting the healthy development of animal husbandry.
