Paragonimus westermani in Malaysian Felidae and Viverridae: probable modes of transmission in relation to host feeding habits

  • Lim Boo Liat (a1) and Christine Betterton (a1)
Abstract

Examination of naturally infected felids and viverrids in Malaysia confirmed previously published records which indicated that P. westermani occured only in felid cats. Felis planiceps and F. temnickii were reported as new host records. Analysis of stomach contents revealed no crab remains in either family of cats, but confirmed that felids were strictly carnivorous while viverrids were often omnivorous. In feeding experiments, only viverrids ate the host crabs Potamiscus johorensis and Parathelphusa maculata. The probable transmission of P. westermani to felids via paratenic hosts was discussed.
