Abstract

Introduction: Trematodiases cause significant financial losses to livestock worldwide and some of which are zoonotic, raising public health concerns. In Rwanda, information on the prevalence of bovine trematodiases is scanty, and this hampers efforts to control and prevent them in the country.

Methods: This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the prevalence of bovine trematodiases in Nyagatare district and associated risk factors. One hundred cattle were randomly selected for this study and faecal samples were collected directly from the rectum to identify trematode eggs using a simple sedimentation technique. To analyze the data, frequencies, chi-square test, and binary logistic regression were computed.

Results: Overall, the prevalence of bovine trematodiases was 69%, and Paramphistomum spp. predominated (69%), followed by Dicrocoelium spp. (23%), Fasciola spp. (20%), and Echinostoma spp. (1.0%). The study also recorded mixed paramphistomiasis, fascioliasis and dicrocoeliasis (11.6%), paramphistomiasis and fascioliasis (15.9%) as well as paramphistomiasis and dicrocoeliasis (20.3%). The odds of having trematodiasis (mono or mixed fascioliasis and dicrocoeliasis) for the cow located in Barija cell (AOR = 0.143; 95% C.I. 0.026-0.793) were 14% lower compared to those of developing such parasitosis for the cow located in Bushoga cell.

Conclusion: Taken together, the study shows that trematodes are a significant contributor to lowering livestock production and productivity and pose a threat to human health. Different approaches should be applied to prevent and control the trematodiases in cows and other livestock (sheep and goats) and reduce the risk of contracting fascioliasis and echinostomiasis in humans in Nyagatare district, Rwanda.

卢旺达尼亚加塔雷地区牛雷马托菌病的流行情况及相关风险因素。
导言:牛颤抖病在全球范围内给牲畜造成了巨大的经济损失,其中一些是人畜共患疾病,引发了公共卫生问题。在卢旺达,有关牛震颤病流行情况的信息很少,这阻碍了该国控制和预防牛震颤病的工作:这项横断面研究旨在确定尼亚加塔雷地区牛震颤病的流行情况及相关风险因素。研究随机选取了 100 头牛,直接从直肠采集粪便样本,使用简单的沉淀技术鉴定吸虫卵。在分析数据时,计算了频率、卡方检验和二元逻辑回归:总体而言,牛吸虫病的发病率为 69%,其中以副吸虫为主(69%),其次是微孢子虫属(23%)、法氏囊属(20%)和棘头瘤属(1.0%)。研究还记录了副丝虫病、筋膜炎和双孢子虫病混合感染(11.6%)、副丝虫病和筋膜炎混合感染(15.9%)以及副丝虫病和双孢子虫病混合感染(20.3%)。与布绍加小区的奶牛相比,巴里加小区的奶牛患吸虫病(单一或混合的筋膜寄生虫病和微囊寄生虫病)的几率(AOR = 0.143;95% C.I. 0.026-0.793)低 14%:综上所述,该研究表明,吸虫是降低畜牧业产量和生产率的重要因素,并对人类健康构成威胁。卢旺达尼亚加塔雷地区应采用不同方法预防和控制奶牛和其他牲畜(绵羊和山羊)的吸虫病,并降低人类感染法氏囊病和棘头蚴病的风险。
