Endoparasites of selected captive endemic threatened wildlife species in Negros Island, Philippines 2016 illustrations (chiefly colored) This study aimed to detect, identify and determine the prevalence of endoparasites in selected endemic threatened wildlife species of Negros Island at the Negros Forests Ecological Foundation Inc. Biodiversity Conservation Center in Bacolod City. From 23 July to 14 August 2015, three fecal samples were each collected from three individuals of captive species: Sus cebifrons negrinus, Rusa alfredi, Penelopides panini panini, and Gallicolumba keayi. Analysis of 36 samples using Direct Fecal Smear, Simple Flotation and Sedimentation Techniques, showed that only S. c. negrinus were infected with endoparasites. Ascaris vitulorum was the most prevalent endoparasite (92%), followed by Giardia duodenalis (14%) and Balantidum coli (6%). Degree of infection was found to be mild or below 500 based on the number of eggs per gram of fecal sample. It is recommended that administration of antihelminthics to captive S. c. negrinus individuals should be done periodically coupled with better sanitary measures so that parasitic infection in the enclosures will be reduced.
