The samples were tested for the presence of\n Giardia<\/jats:italic>\n species copro-antigen using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Other intestinal parasites were identified microscopically using the formalin\u2013ethyl acetate sedimentation technique.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The total prevalence of intestinal parasites was 20.8%; only two genera of protozoa (\n Giardia<\/jats:italic>\n species: 18.7% and\n Cystoisospora<\/jats:italic>\n species: 5.0%) were detected. Coinfections of both protozoans were recorded in 2.9% of cats. In contrast, no helminths were detected. The presence of total infection,\n Giardia<\/jats:italic>\n species,\n Cystoisospora<\/jats:italic>\n species and multiple infections in cats <1 year old were significantly more prevalent than in cats \u2a7e1 year old. There were no significant differences among faecal conditions with or without intestinal parasites.\n Giardia<\/jats:italic>\n species infection was present in samples from all breeding catteries, except for one facility.\n Cystoisospora<\/jats:italic>\n species and coinfections were shown in four and two breeding catteries, respectively. The prevalence of intestinal parasites was markedly variable among the breeding catteries.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions and relevance<\/jats:title>\n \n The present study demonstrates the significance of\n Giardia<\/jats:italic>\n species and\n Cystoisospora<\/jats:italic>\n species infections in breeding cattery cats. Additionally, it is suggested that environmental contamination is the most important factor influencing the prevalence of protozoal infections in breeding catteries.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612x15597023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,24]],"date-time":"2015-07-24T23:04:54Z","timestamp":1437779094000},"page":"834-837","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Prevalence of intestinal parasites in breeding cattery cats in Japan"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Yoichi","family":"Ito","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ito Animal Hospital, Miyashiro, Minami Saitama, Saitama, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Small Animal Internal Medicine, School of Veterinary Medicine, Kitasato University, Towada, Aomori, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naoyuki","family":"Itoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Small Animal Internal Medicine, School of Veterinary Medicine, Kitasato University, Towada, Aomori, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuya","family":"Kimura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Small Animal Internal Medicine, School of Veterinary Medicine, Kitasato University, Towada, Aomori, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kazutaka","family":"Kanai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Small Animal Internal Medicine, School of Veterinary Medicine, Kitasato University, Towada, Aomori, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","first-page":"356","volume-title":"Veterinary parasitology","author":"Taylor MA","year":"2007","unstructured":"Taylor MA, Coop RL, Wall RL.
