Abstract:

Parasites are live organism that lives in a host to obtain the nutrients for their survival. Parasitic infections are commonly as seen in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. These parasitic infections can be caused by protozoa, helminths and ectoparasites. However, the knowledge of parasitic infections could vary among the adults in urban or semi urban areas where parasitic infections are rare among them. This study was conducted to detect the level of knowledge, awareness and practice of parasite infection among adults in Selangor. The study was conducted using an online questionnaire. Around 59 participants from Selangor district in the age group of 21 to 60 years responded to the questionnaire. The results of this research was analysed by Google Docs software. According to the result obtained, the level of knowledge, awareness and practice of adults towards parasite infection is highly satisfactory. As majority of participants (76.3%, n=45) are familiar with the symptom of intestinal parasitic infection, majority of contributors (93.2%, n=55) practice the correct way in processing the meat by cooking the meat thoroughly, and some of the participants (14.9%, n=9) were aware of malaria as the high risk of being contagious in Selangor district. The level of knowledge, awareness and practice of parasite infection among adults in Selangor is adequately high. However, it is still necessary for these populations to get more exposed the information on parasite infection.

Abstract:

SUMMARYHIV-1 and parasitic infections co-circulate in many populations, and in a few well-studied examples HIV-1 co-infection is known to amplify parasite transmission. There are indications that HIV-1 interacts significantly with many other parasitic infections within individual hosts, but the population-level impacts of co-infection are not well-characterized. Here we consider how alteration of host immune status due to HIV-1 infection may influence the emergence of novel parasite strains. We review clinical and epidemiological evidence from five parasitic diseases (malaria, leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis, trypanosomiasis and strongyloidiasis) with emphasis on how HIV-1 co-infection alters individual susceptibility and infectiousness for the parasites. We then introduce a simple modelling framework that allows us to project how these individual-level properties might influence population-level dynamics. We find that HIV-1 can facilitate invasion by parasite strains in many circumstances and we identify threshold values of HIV-1 prevalence that allow otherwise unsustainable parasite strains to invade successfully. Definitive evidence to test these predicted effects is largely lacking, and we conclude by discussing challenges in interpreting available data and priorities for future studies.

Abstract:

Background Intestinal parasitic infections are still a serious public health problem in poor and developing countries like Ethiopia. Local epidemiological data is crucial to design and monitor prevention and control strategies. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasite infections and associated risk factors among patients requested for stool examination at Jimma health center, Southwest, Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among a total of 384 patients in Jimma health center, Southwest, Ethiopia. Stool samples were collected and examined using direct wet-mount and formal-ether concentration techniques. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square (X2) test and SPPS Version 24 and P Value<0.05 was considered for statistically significance. Results The overall prevalence of intestinal parasite infections was found to be 79(20.6%). The infection rate was slightly higher in females 261(68%) than in males 123(32%). Eight types of intestinal parasites were identified and the highest prevalence was Giardia lamblia 25(6.5%) followed by A. lumbricoides 22(5.7%). Single parasitic infection was found among 67(17.4%) of the patients and double infection was 12(3.1%). Shoe wearing habits, Status of fingernail, Handwashing before a meal and after defecation, Source of water for bathing and drinking were significant factors(p<0.05) for intestinal parasitic infection. Conclusion A relatively low prevalence of intestinal parasite infections was observed among patients of Jimma health center requested for the stool examination.

Abstract:

The present study is conducted in Kirkuk city, Iraq; between July to December 2018. Within this period 197 resected appendix are examined to investigate the parasitic infections that may associated with appendicitis. Direct with concentrated methods are used in luminal content examinations. Also, histological examination of haematoxylin and eosin stained tissue sections is performed to diagnose the parasitic infections in the lumen and within the appendix tissue. The parasitic infection reported in 12.69% cases included four species, as well as a mixed infection. Entamoeba histolytica (trophozoite and cyst), Giardia lamblia (trophozoite and cyst), Cryptospordium sp.(oocyst) and Enterobious vermicularis (adult worm and ova) are recorded. The most common determined parasite is E. histolytica (8.63%). The parasitic infection within the resected appendix reported in females (8.12%) more than males (4.57%). The parasitic infections in the study are prevalent in patients within the age groups 13 to 18 years and 19 to 24 years (3.55% for each one). http://dx.doi.org/10.25130/tjps.24.2019.123

Abstract:

Parasitic infections have a negative impact on the fecundity and survival of wild ruminants, particularly moose; however, despite being more susceptible to parasitic diseases than other wild cervids, they remain poorly examined in this regard. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to identify gastrointestinal and liver helminth species of the moose population in central Europe, assess the factors contributing to infection intensities and examine their impact on moose health. Abomasum, small intestine, caecum and liver samples were collected from 46 moose in Poland and evaluated for helminth parasite fauna and histopathological changes. Additionally, 289 moose fecal samples were analyzed for the presence of eggs, oocysts and larvae of parasites. In total, 19 parasite taxa were identified. The most prevalent were Mazamastrongylus dagestanica and Ostertagia antipini, which are typical nematodes of moose, together with Spiculopteragia boehmi and O. leptospicularis, characteristic also of other cervids. Parasite species diversity and abomasal parasitic infection intensity were higher in adult moose than in yearlings and calves. The numbers of histopathological lesions depended on the intensity of parasitic infections, and were most severe in the livers of moose infected with Parafasciolopsis fasciolaemorpha. The analysis of fecal samples revealed several regional differences in the levels of parasite eggs, oocysts and larvae shedding. Our findings indicate an accumulation of parasite infections over time in moose, which may be related to high environmental parasite pressure, possibly connected with high moose density and the presence of wetlands; they also serve as the most comprehensive study of moose parasites in central Europe to date.

Abstract:

SUMMARYIn this paper we review the published literature on patterns of abundance and aggregation of macroparasites in wildlife host populations. We base this survey on quantitative analyses of mean burden and a number of measures of the degree of aggregation of parasite burdens between hosts. All major parasite and vertebrate host taxa were represented in the database. Mean parasite burden was found to be log-normally distributed, indicating that all parasite burdens are regulated to some degree. In addition, all but one of the parasitic infections were aggregated with respect to their hosts, and the relationship between log mean parasite burden and log variance was found to be very strong (R2= 0·87). That is, for a given mean parasite burden there are constraints on the degree of variation in individual host burdens. The aggregated nature of the parasitic infections is also apparent from other measures of the degree of aggregation: prevalence – mean relationships, and the negative binomial parameter,k. Using a relatively new technique for parasitological infection data – tree-based models, as well as traditional linear models – a number of the parasitic infections was found to be associated with systematically lower or higher parasite burdens. Possible biological explanations for these and other patterns are proposed.

Abstract:

Background. Neglected tropical diseases continue to be one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the developing world. Psychiatric patients are among groups at risk for parasitic infection although control and monitoring programs largely overlook this population. This study aimed at determining prevalence and factors associated with intestinal parasitic infection among patients admitted to a psychiatric facility.Method. The study followed cross-sectional design; all the residing patients that met the inclusion criteria were included in the survey. Stool samples were collected and examined by direct wet preparation and formol-ether concentration. Data were analyzed with STATA version 12.1; Chi-square test was computed to determine the level of significance atpvalue < 0.05.Results.Of all 233 patients who returned the stool samples, 29 (12.45%) screened were positive for an intestinal parasite. There was no significant association between parasite carriage and age, sex, or duration of hospital stay.Conclusion. The study shows that intestinal parasitic infection is common among patients in a psychiatric facility and highlights that parasitic infections that enter through skin penetration may be a more common mode of transmission than the oral route. Furthermore, the study underscores the need for surveillance and intervention programs to control and manage these infections.

Abstract:

Introduction. One of the top ten major public health problems in developing countries including Ethiopia is the intestinal parasitic infection. Most of the time, intestinal parasitic infections do not show clinical signs and symptoms and also have a number of potential carriers, such as food handlers, which makes it too difficult to eradicate and control. Objective. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence and associated factors of intestinal parasitic infection among food handlers at prison, East and West Gojjam, Ethiopia, 2017. Methods. An institution-based cross-sectional study design was conducted at East and West Gojjam prison. A total of 416 study participants, with a response rate of 82.7%, were included in the study for both stool exam and questioner. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, and the sample was collected and examined based on the standard parasitological procedure. Epi data Version 3.1 was used to enter data, and SPSS version 20 was used to analyze the data. Results. The overall prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in the present study was 61.9%. The most prevalent parasite was A. lumbricoides (157 (45.6%)). Protozoan infection was higher than helminth infection. Multiple intestinal infections were identified; among study participants, 34.6% had double infection. The most significant associated factors of intestinal parasitic infections were fingernail status, residence, information about food contamination related to intestinal parasitic infection, income, and handwashing before having contact with food and after toilet with water only. Conclusions. A high proportion of intestinal parasitic infection was detected among food handlers working at East and West Gojjam prison. Training must be given to the food handlers on personal hygienic conditions (finger trimming, handwashing after toilet and before having contact with food with water and soap, etc.).

Abstract:

One of the characteristic features of parasitic infections is the chronicity and persistence of the infection for long time. Their success is due to its ability to deviate the immune response of their host toward the immunoregulatory or immunosuppressive state. IL-10 is a multifunctional cytokine with both immunosuppressive and immunostimulatory effects during parasite infection, playing a crucial role in the regulation of the immunity by ameliorating the destructive immunopathology associated with excessive inflammation but often suppressing effective immune responses against pathogens and impairing parasite clearance. Several transcription factors have been characterised that act on the promoter region of human and mouse IL-10 and their role in the transcription of this cytokine has been experimentally verified. In our study, a 570 bp fragment of the 5' UTR region flanking the bovine il-10 gene was cloned and characterised by sequencing. Several SNPs relative to the reference sequence are described, the putative polymorphisms lie within the transcription factor binding sites Sp1, Cap, HSF, ADR1, MZF1, GATA1 and Hb. We have investigated the role of GATA1 in regulation of IL-10 expression from fluke naïve PBMCs in response to LFH and FhTLM and we demonstrate that both LFH and FhTLM treatment induced GATA1 expression from PBMCs. These molecules showed distinct effects on PBMC functions i.e. stimulation of IL-10 in response to FhTLM and inhibition when LFH is used. However, both factors inhibit PBMCs proliferation and IFN-γ expression. We have also found that FhTLM binds to bovine TGFβ-RIED and TGFβ-RIIED fusion proteins but with a higher avidity to TGFβ-RIIED. These results highlight the role of FhTLM as a potent immunomodulatory of the bovine immune system by binding to bovine cytokine receptors. Neospora caninum infection is the major cause of abortion in dairy cattle. Infection with this parasite leads to a polarized Th1 response with high IFN-γ and IL-12 which provide protection aginst N. caninum infection. We have determined the effects of IL-10 in the regulation of IFN-γ and its association with production parameters (milk yield, lactation numbers) by measuring the levels of these cytokines in serum of infected animals and relating these to the key production parameters. Our results have shown that 84 % of high seropositive dams gave birth to seropositive calves and IL-10 concentration was higher in seropositive animals compared to seronegative. However, no correlation was found between the IL-10 concentration of seropositive dams and their calves. Together these indicated that IL-10 is an important cytokine during neosporosis, which modulate the immune response and allow the transmission of the infection to the offspring. Finally, our results for association of the IL-10 with lifetime daily yield demonstrated that IL-10 has a negative association with milk production during infection with N. caninum. Results of our study demonstrate a key role for bovine IL-10 in the regulation of multiple facets of parasite infection and immunity.

The development of activities related to aquaculture has considerably increased the relevance of studies on parasites and other pathogens of aquatic organisms, especially those with potential for production and marketing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of parasitic and microbial infections in the “pacu” Piaractus mesopotamicus and hybrid patinga (P. mesopotamicus x Piaractus brachypomus) from the Northwest of São Paulo State, Brazil. Fishes from three fish farms were evaluated every two months: A - Reproduction and larviculture (pacu / patinga), B - Growout (patinga) and C - Fee-fishing property (pacu / patinga). Fishes from each fish farm were collected from February 2010 to February 2011 for parasitological (n = 35 per property) and microbiological (n = 21 per property) analysis. The parasites found were: Dactylogyridae (Monogenea), Trichodina spp., Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, Chilodonella sp. (Protozoa), Myxobolus spp., Henneguya spp. (Myxozoa), Rondonia rondonia, third stage larvae of Contracaecum sp. (Nematoda), and Dolops carvalhoi (Crustacea). Among the fishes examined, 62.9% from A and 100% from B and C were infected / infested with at least one parasite species. Pacu (n = 44) showed higher susceptibility to infestations caused by Anacanthorus penilabiatus and patinga (n = 61) by Mymarothecium viatorum (p < 0.05). In the microbiological analysis, 23.8% of fishes from A and B properties and 33.3% of fish from the property C were infected with at least one bacteria species. Seasonality influenced Trichodina spp. and A. penilabiatus infestations and infection caused by Enterobacter sp. in patingas (p < 0.05). In antibiogram test, strains of Pseudomonas sp., Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Aeromonas sp. were resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Abstract:

The role of intestinal nematode infections in the aetiology of iron deficiency and anaemia in pregnant women was investigated in peri-urban and rural areas of Western Sierra Leone. A randomised placebo-controlled field trial was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of a single course of albendazole (400 mg) and daily iron-folate supplements (36 g iron and 5 mg folate), administered after the first trimester, as control interventions for intestinal nematode infections and anaemia during pregnancy. At baseline, in the first trimester of pregnancy, the prevalence (and geometric mean intensity) of intestinal nematodes was as follows: Ascaris lumbricoides 21.1% (267 eggs per gram); Necator americanus 66.5% (191 epg); and Trichuris trichiura 71.9% (93 epg). Chronic undernutrition (height < 150 cm) and chronic energy deficiency (body mass index < 18.5 kg/m²) was found in 5.4% and 8.2% of women respectively. Anaemia (Hb < 110 g/l) was diagnosed in 58.7% of women and associated with iron deficiency (serum ferritin < 20 μg/l) in 21.2% of women. Iron deficiency is likely to have a dietary basis in these women. The dietary iron intake was predominantly non-haem, and was estimated to supply less than 1 g of absorbable iron daily. High fertility and closely spaced pregnancies placed additional stress on iron stores. The findings of this study indicate that anthelminthic treatment should be included in strategies to control maternal anaemia in Western Sierra Leone. It is recommended that pregnant women routinely receive a single course of anthelminthics after the first trimester, alongside daily iron-folate supplements, to minimise the decline in maternal Hb concentration during pregnancy. These interventions could be implemented through the existing primary health care system, although the use of traditional birth attendants should be investigated as a means of improving compliance and coverage. The implications of these findings for public health policy in other antenatal populations will depend on the local epidemiology of intestinal nematode infections and on the extent of underlying maternal iron deficiency and anaemia.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background: Helminth infections remain endemic disease, mainly in tropical developing countries. Immunity against a number of helminth infections has been associated with anti-parasitic immunoglobulin-E (IgE). This study aimed to determine the correlation between total IgE level and intensity of whipworm infection in primary school children, Medan, North Sumatera. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at primary school, Tanjung Pura, Langkat, Medan, North Sumatera in Augustus 2019. A total of 19 students was selected for this study. The dependent variable was intensity of whipworm egg. The study subjects were selected by purposive sampling method. The independent variable was total IgE level. The data for dependent variable was measured by Kato-Katz technique. The total IgE serum concentration was measured by ELISA. Data were analyzed by Spearman correlation test. Results: There was a negative correlation between total IgE level and intensity of whipworm infection among primary school children in Medan (r= -0.64; p= 0.003). Conclusion: There is a negative correlation between total IgE level and intensity of whipworm infection among primary school children in Medan. Keywords: whipworm infection, IgE, children Correspondence: Leonard Kristian Sinaga. Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Methodist Indonesia, Medan, Indonesia. Email: Leonardsinaga08051970@gmail.com.

Abstract:

Malaria is an issue of global importance. This parasitic disease, which is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito, currently threatens 44% of the world’s population. In 2013, there were an estimated 198 million infections and over 580,000 deaths from malaria. Like many diseases, malaria is opportunistic, quickly feeding into the cycle of poverty and infecting the most vulnerable members of society who lack access to protection and car

Abstract:

Ide plays a dominant role in commercial catches in the Middle Ob basin (Tomsk Oblast, Russia). The most numerous muscular trematodes of the ide are Opisthorchis felineus, which is pathogenic for humans, and Paracoenogonimus ovatus, a parasite of fish-eating birds. The highest rates of infection of the ide by the larvae of the feline fluke (the extensiveness of invasion is 100%, the intensity of invasion is 52.6 ind. per fish). The rates of P. ovatus metacercariae infection are two times lower. The intensity of invasion increases with the size and age of the fish. Thus, ide is of key importance in maintaining the focus of opisthorchiasis in the basin of the Middle Ob.

Abstract:

The article considers hidden causal factors of a medical nature (in the form of pathogens of bacterial, viral, protozoal and fungal infections, as well as parasitic diseases) that cannot be detected by visual examination of the subject and require additional laboratory research methods. The necessity of taking into account such factors and the possibility of identifying them is shown for a more objective forensic examination of sexual offenses.
