Abstract
A study on the prevalence of endoparasites of rats was conducted at the Laboratory Animal Facility and Management (LAFAM) UiTM Selangor Puncak Alam. The fecal samples were collected from a total of 187 laboratory rats which included 112 Sprague-Dawley and 75 Wistar rats. The fecal samples were examined by direct smear technique and fecal floatation technique. From the total of 187 fecal samples examined 35.83 were found positive for endoparasites. Prevalence of endoparasites was higher in Wistar (54.67 ) compared to Sprague-Dawley rats (23.21 ). The most prevalent nematode parasites were Syphacia muris (68.66 ) followed by Syphacia obvelata (26.87 ). The prevalence of these parasites emphasizes the needs of careful monitoring in the LAFAM and therapeutic measures when necessary.
