Abstract

Shortage in animal protein resources is a problem facing developing countries. Fish may be a good solution for this problem. But, fish may cause many serious diseases by carrying trematode encysted metacercariae. Fish–born zoonotic trematodes cause great public health problems worldwide. An estimate of 1840 million infected people with intestinal flukes was reported by the WHO. Meanwhile, there are unknown million infected. Consuming raw fish and crustaceans (sushi, sashimi, koi-pla etc.,) in particular in the Far East, is becoming increasingly common in many countries. This increase in the consumption of raw sea food led to a rise in the incidence of zoonotic diseases. Fish infected with heterophyid encysted metacercariae, commonly consumed by local inhabitants, pose a serious zoonotic risk. Infection may cause, beside diseases (e.g.Heterophyasis), loss of fish in lakes and rivers. Morbidity and serious damages to aquacultures. Microscopical examination of 452 fresh and brackish water fish, representing Clarias gariepinus, Lebeo noliticus and Mugil cephalus species, collected from low socioeconomic areas, allover one year, revealed the occurrence of trematode encysted metacercariae in their flesh. The infection rate differed according to the fish species, season and fish weight. The impact of infection on humans and animals is discussed as well as the prevention protocol for parasitic diseases associated with infected fish. Biography: Dr Faiza M El Assal is professor of invertebrate zoology and parasitology at the Zoology Department, Faculty of Science, Cairo University. She is interested in the conservation of the freshwater ecosystem and biological control of the snail vectors of parasitic diseases. She published more than 50 papers in international and national journals. She supervised more than 60 M Sc & Ph D theses and was reviewer for many theses. She planned and supervised projects on biological control of schistosomiasis snail vector.
感染吸虫包囊囊蚴的鱼类及其在向人类和家畜传播寄生虫病中的作用
动物蛋白资源短缺是发展中国家面临的一个问题。鱼可能是解决这个问题的好办法。但是,鱼类因携带吸虫包囊囊蚴而引起许多严重疾病。鱼类传播的人畜共患病在世界范围内引起了严重的公共卫生问题。据世界卫生组织报道,估计有1.40亿人感染了肠道吸虫。与此同时,还有未知的百万感染者。特别是在远东地区,食用生鱼和甲壳类动物(寿司、生鱼片、鲤鱼等)在许多国家正变得越来越普遍。生海鲜消费的增加导致人畜共患疾病的发病率上升。当地居民常食用感染异源包囊囊蚴的鱼类,造成严重的人畜共患风险。感染除了引起疾病(如异虫病)外,还可能造成湖泊和河流中鱼类的死亡。发病率和对水产养殖的严重损害。一年来对社会经济条件较差地区采集的452条淡水鱼和咸水鱼进行了显微检查,发现其肉中存在吸虫囊性囊蚴,分别为Clarias gariepinus、Lebeo noliticus和Mugil cephalus。感染率因鱼种、季节和鱼重不同而不同。讨论了感染对人类和动物的影响,以及与受感染鱼类相关的寄生虫病的预防方案。简介:Faiza M El Assal博士是开罗大学理学院动物学系无脊椎动物学和寄生虫学教授。她对淡水生态系统的保护和寄生虫病的蜗牛载体的生物控制感兴趣。在国内外期刊上发表论文50余篇。指导硕士、博士论文60余篇,并担任多篇论文审稿人。她策划和监督血吸虫病病媒蜗牛生物防治项目。
