Article Synopsis
- The Asiatic wild water buffalo, an endangered species in Nepal's Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, was translocated to Chitwan National Park, where it faces gastrointestinal (GI) parasite threats that impact animal health.
- A coprological survey in 2020 revealed nine types of GI parasites in wild water buffalo dung, with Entamoeba spp. being the most prevalent, confirmed through DNA analysis as Entamoeba bovis.
- This study marks the first molecular detection of E. bovis in wild water buffaloes in Nepal, indicating a need for further research on parasite prevalence in natural habitats.
