摘　　要：The Amur leopard,one of nine recently recognized subspecies of leopard,is still the most threatened by a stochastic procession of extinction.Evaluation of the potential danger to the conservation of the Amur leopard originating from disease urgently needs to be studied.Unfortunately,research on the potential risk to Amur leopards caused by disease is rare.In terms of parasitic diseases that affect this species,even basic data for parasitic fauna are absent.The aim of this study is to acquire this knowledge to improve the general understanding of Amur leopard parasites.Seven parasite species,including 3 nematodes(Toxocara cati,a capillarid-type parasite,and a Metastrongyloideatype parasite),2 cestodes(Spirometra sp.and Taenia sp.),1 trematode(Paragonimus sp.),and 1 protozoan(Cystoisospora felis),were found in this research.Toxocara cati occurred most frequently,followed by Spirometra sp.
