Abstract: BENDO, FLORENCE JOY PAGKALIWANGAN. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2007. Parasite Identification from Fecal Samples of House Bats [Scotophilus kuhlii (Leach,1822)] in Selected Barangays of Indang, Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Adviser: Cherry B. Reyes, DVM. This study was conducted to recover and identify parasites from fecal samples of bats (Scotophilus kuhlfi) in selected barangays of Indang, Cavite and determine the frequency of occurrence of parasites identified. Five pooled fecal samples from 50 bats (10 bats for each barangay) were collected for this study. Three qualitative fecal examination namely direct fecal smear, sugar flotation technique and modified fluke egg technique and larval culture were employed in the study to identify parasites that inhabit the alimentary tract of the bats. Eighty percent or 4 samples were found positive for Capillariid ova and rhabditiform larva of nematode, while 40% or 2 samples were positive for a nematode ova. The result of this study showed that the parasite present in house bats (Scotophilus kuhlh) have zoonotic potential specifically Cap///aria, which may be transmitted to human and other house pets as it is shed in the feces of bats.
