초록

Macrocyclic lactone에 저항이 있는 Parascaris equorum은 몇몇 국가에서 보고되었다. 그랜트얼룩말(Equus burchelli bohmi)이 만성체중감소 및 심한 침울로 인하여 제주경마공원동물병원에 내원하였다. 임상검사에서 빈맥 및 탈수가 밝혀졌고 다음날 심한 복통을 앓고 난 후 폐사하였다. 내원하기 전에 얼룩말은 3개월 간격으로 3회에 걸쳐 ivermectin을 경구로 투여 받았고 첫 침울증상 30일 전에도 ivermectin으로 투여 받았다. 부검에서 위와 소장에 회충축적 및 장천공을 확인하였다. 저자들의 지식으로는 성숙한 얼룩말에서 ascarid impaction 및 장천공 예가 매우 드물다. 본 증례의 원인은 P. equorum이 ivermectin에 저항성이 있을 수 도 있다고 의심하고 있다.

Macrocyclic lactone resistance has been reported in populations of Parascaris equorum from several countries. A Grant's zebra (Equus burchelli bohmi) was admitted to the Equine Hospital at Jeju Race Park with signs of chronic weight loss and severe depression. Clinical examination revealed tachycardia and dehydration. Over the course of a day, the zebra suffered from severe abdominal pain and subsequently died. Prior to admission, the zebra had received prophylactic anthelmintic treatment with ivermectin 3 times at 3-month intervals and was dewormed with ivermectin 30 days prior to the onset of depression. At necropsy, there were masses of ascarids in the stomach and small intestine, and intestinal perforation. There are many reports of ivermectin-resistant P. equorum in horses. However, anthelmintic resistance has not been formally demonstrated in zebras. This report describes diagnosed case of gastrointestinal impaction and intestinal perforation by P. equorum in an adult zebra. We suspect that ivermectin-resistant P. equorum larvae were the cause.
