Stoianov L. Oxyuriasis of bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) (distribution, diagnosis, treatment)

The thesis summarizes the results of the study of the distribution, pathogenesis, treatment and prevention of oxyurosis of bearded dragons brought from abroad and divorced in captivity. The species composition of oxyuruses parasitized in bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps) in zoo centers of Ukraine and private collections was established. Three types of pathogens Oxiuris thelandros, O. alaerus and O. pseudalaeris have been identified. The influence of oxyuris on morphological and biochemical parameters of blood of bearded dragons is determined. The therapeutic effectiveness of Albendazole 10 % and the experimental series of «Helmirept» for the bearded dragons oxyurrosis was studied and its effect on morphological and biochemical parameters of blood was determined. It was established that the disinfectant DZPT-2 in concentrations of 1.5 and 1 % at an exposure of 60 minutes showed a high level of disinvasive efficacy (95.6 and 80.6 %) on Oxyuris thelandros invasive eggs.
