Title: Necrotizing Enteritis Caused by Pharyngostomum cordatum Infection in a Stray Cat Document date: 2019_2_26
ID: s3agg94u_13
Snippet: Since the first report of P. cordatum infection in 1981, multiple surveys on intestinal trematode prevalence in the stray cats of Korea have been conducted. The parasite has been detected in 63/438 (14.4%) feral cats from Busan [6] and 3/41 (7.3%) feral cats from Seoul [5] . Thus, P. cordatum infection is an endemic feline disease in Korea, and the parasite should be considered one of the most important for cats. We recommend that veterinarians t.....
Document: Since the first report of P. cordatum infection in 1981, multiple surveys on intestinal trematode prevalence in the stray cats of Korea have been conducted. The parasite has been detected in 63/438 (14.4%) feral cats from Busan [6] and 3/41 (7.3%) feral cats from Seoul [5] . Thus, P. cordatum infection is an endemic feline disease in Korea, and the parasite should be considered one of the most important for cats. We recommend that veterinarians take care to distinguish P. cordatum infection from other causes of enteric disease in cats of Korea. Stray cats can act as reservoirs, carriers, transmitters, and definitive hosts for many intestinal parasites, including those that are potentially zoonotic. Although no known cases of P. cordatum infection in humans have been reported, we cannot exclude the possibility of P. cordatum zoonosis [19] . Thus, continuous monitoring of intestinal parasites in stray cats is necessary to allow for early diagnosis and control measures in domestic animals and wildlife of Korea.
