An outbreak of the nematode Strongyloides sp. occurred in a population of 18 male and 29 female panther chameleons (Furcifer pardalis) at the Singapore Zoo. The parasite was first detected in one individual during routine microscopic examination of feces using the direct examination and magnesium sulfate flotation methods. The parasite was later found to have a closest match (98.96%) with Strongyloides sp. Okayama by DNA sequencing. Over a period of 6 mon, 97.9% (46/47) of the panther chameleons tested positive for the parasite, and 25.5% (12/47) of the animals died due to the disease. All the animals that died were female. Of the positive tests, magnesium sulfate flotation identified the parasite 98.1% (105/107) of the time, compared to direct fecal microscopy, which identified the parasite only 43.9% (47/107) of the time. Parasite eggs were detected in 100% (105/105) of the positive magnesium sulfate flotation tests but only 66.0% (31/47) of the positive direct fecal microscopy tests. Parasite larvae were detected in 61.7% (29/47) of the positive direct fecal microscopy tests but only 9.5% (10/105) of the magnesium sulfate flotation tests. Treatments with fenbendazole and pyrantel pamoate at published doses were ineffective at eliminating the parasite. Ivermectin (0.2 mg/kg PO q2wk for two doses) was successful at treating the parasite, with all animals testing negative for the parasite at the end of the treatment course without any observed adverse reactions. However, complete eradication of the parasite could not be achieved, as Strongyloides sp. could still be detected in the population on routine coproscopy intermittently over 3 yr. There were no further mortalities due to the disease with prompt treatment with ivermectin. Strongyloidiasis may cause high morbidity in panther chameleons, but severe disease leading to mortality can be prevented with the use of ivermectin.
