Identification of Gastrointestinal Helminthes from Fecal Samples of Wild South T,uzon Giant Cloud Rats (Phloeomys cumingi, Waterhouse, 1839) in Indang, Cavite. I Tridergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Adviser: Nelson J. Montialto, DVM. The study was conducted to recover and identify gastrointestinal helminthes from the fecal samples of South I,uzon giant cloud rat (Phloenmys cumingi) in Indang, Cavite and determine the occurrence rate of the parasites identified. Five giant cloud rats were used in the study. Three qualitative fecal examination namely direct fecal smear, sugar flotation technique and sedimentation technique were used in the study to identify parasites that inhibit the gastrointestinal tract of the giant cloud rats. The parasites that were identified was strongyle ova, strongyloid (Strongyloides spp.) ova and larva and trematode ova. Four out of the five animals were positive for gastrointestinal parasites particularly nematodes. Only one was positive for trematodes. The size of the strongyloid ova measured at 36.3 p.m — 45.5 p.m by 57.6 — 62.92 pm; s strongyle ova measured at of 31.46 p.m — 45.98 p.m by 43.56 p.m — 70.18 p.m; Strongyloides spp. larva measured at 217.8 p.m and fluke ova at 48.4 p.m by 75.02 p.m. The result of this study showed that the parasites present in the giant cloud rats (Phineomys cumingi) have zoonotic potential specifically Strnngyloide.s sp. and fluke which may be transmitted to human as it shed in the feces of giant cloud rats.
