- Abstract
During our study around the marsh of Reghaia. we carried out a trip every fortnight from February 21 to May 2, 2016 and 58 droppings were collected in the surrounding area of Jebel, 22 feces for the red fox Vulpes vulpes and Wild boar Sus scrofa each and 14 droppings for the common jackal Canis aureus. The flotation method of 58 samples allowed us to identify 19 species belonging to the 4 phylums, 6 classes, 9 orders and 14 families. We were able to identify 12 species of parasites in red fox droppings. 10 genera for common jackals and 15 parasites in wild boar and with common species. The total number of parasites identified is 19 genera. The results obtained for red fox Vulpes vulpes show a dominance of Strongyloides sp. with a rate of 31.82% followed by Uncinaria with 22.73%. Ancylostoma and Eimeria with 22.73% for each. Concerning the common jackal Canis aureus, the nematod Strongyloides occupies the first place with 21.43% followed by Ancylostoma sp., Ascaridia sp. and Teania sp. with 14.29% the rest of the parasitic species occupies the same rank with a prevalence rate equal to 7.14%. As for wild boars Sus scrofa, we noted after examinations of 22 excreta that 54.5% are infested by Strongyloides sp. followed by Ancylostoma sp. with an infestation rate of 50% followed by Eimeria sp. with a rate of 45.5% followed by Ascaris sp. with a percentage equal to 27.3%.
