A total of 14 faecal samples were screened to determine the occurrence and intensity of intestinal helminth parasites in Asiatic lions kept at Dhaka Zoo, Bangladesh. The identified parasite eggs included cestode (Spirometra sp.) and nematodes (Toxascaris leonina, Hook worm and Strongyloides spp.). The overall incidence of parasitic infection was 92.9%, of which 78.6% (11/14) of the samples were positive for Spirometra sp., 57.1% (8/14) for Toxascaris leonina, 28.6% (4/14) for hookworm and 21.4% (3/14) for Strongyloides spp. This study emphasizes the need for the establishment of routine control programmes against helminthosis in zoo animals so as to safeguard the health of captive wild animals, and of humans working with and visiting these animals.
