The Amur leopard, one of nine recently recognized subspecies of leopard, is still the most threatened by a stochastic procession of extinction. Evaluation of the potential danger to the conservation of the Amur leopard originating from disease urgently needs to be studied. Unfortunately, research on the potential risk to Amur leopards caused by disease is rare. In terms of parasitic diseases that affect this species, even basic data for parasitic fauna are absent. The aim of this study is to acquire this knowledge to improve the general understanding of Amur leopard parasites. Seven parasite species, including 3 nematodes (Toxocara cati, a capillarid‐type parasite, and a Metastrongyloidea‐type parasite), 2 cestodes (Spirometra sp. and Taenia sp.), 1 trematode (Paragonimus sp.), and 1 protozoan (Cystoisospora felis), were found in this research. Toxocara cati occurred most frequently, followed by Spirometra sp.

Background：The Amur leopard, one of nine recently recognized subspecies of leopard, is still most threatened in a stochastic procession of extinction. The potential harmless to the conservation of the Amur leopard originating from the disease is in need of urgent attention. Unfortunately, the research on the potential risk to Amur leopard caused by disease is rare. When the parasites were concerned, even the elementary data, such as parasitic fauna, are absent. Our aim in the study is to accumulate the knowledge of it for a better comprehension. Results: There are 7 parasite species, including 3 nematodes (Toxocara cati, capillarid-type parasite, and Metastrongyloidea-type parasite), 2 cestodes (Spirometra sp. and Taenia sp.), 1 trematode (Paragonimus sp.), and 1 protozoa (Cystoisospora felis), were found in this research. The Toxocara cati was highest frequent occurrence, followed by Spirometra sp. Conclusion: The Amur leopard was infected by seven parasites firstly reported.

“…In the cities of Yunfu and Zhaoqing the prevalence of infection by S. erinaceieuropaei was of 47.2% and 12.6%, respectively in dogs. Infection in the cats was of 64.4% and 35.9% in Yunfu and Zhaoqing, respectively (Hong et al, 2016). Treatment of wild definitive mammal hosts (others canids and felids) is difficult.…”

“…Eating well-cooked frogs or aquatic snakes prevent the infection (Anantaphruti et al 2011;Liu et al 2015). Hong et al (2016) determined through a survey that the consumption of cooking meat with frying and/or porridge and/or soup would be the most probable means of transmission of sparganosis by frogs in Guangzhou, China. These authors found prevalences of 51.2% and 35.1% in wild R. tigrina rugulosa and R. limnocharis, however, sparganosis was not found in farmed frogs.…”
