However, the information about the distribution of each species is inaccurate in many countries since their traditional diagnosis is based only on the identification of eggs in stool under a microscope. We aimed to identify the prevalence of hookworm species using morphological stools to identify L3 larvae to gain insights into the distribution of both species in five regions of Cameroon. Samples were collected from schoolchildren in five regions and 34 subdivisions of Cameroon and examined using the Kato-Katz method. We randomly selected a total of 157 samples among hookworm's positive stool samples. They were cultured using the Harada-Mori test-tube technique. The morphological identification of a total of 8063 isolated hookworm filariform larvae L3 was conducted following established criteria. The sensitivity rate to the Harada-Mori technique was 58 %. Among the 8063 L3 larvae identified during this study, 230 (2.95 %) of L3 larvae were identified as A. duodenale, and 7833 (97.15 %) of L3 larvae were identified as N. americanus. A. duodenale was observed only in the Mouanko subdivision in the Littoral region. The complementary use of the Kato Katz and the Harada-Mori culture techniques to screen hookworm infections contributes to the differentiation of N. americanus and A. duodenale as the two hookworm species in Cameroon. An extended molecular study in the localities where only N. americanus has been identified is necessary to reach more conclusions on the distribution of hookworm species in Cameroon.","PeriodicalId":55061,"journal":{"name":"Helminthologia","volume":"61 3","pages":"224-231"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11637546/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142830951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of endoparasites in turkeys of different age groups under different maintenance systems and the nature of patho-anatomical changes depending on the course of the disease. A total of 1,869 samples of fecal from turkeys were studied. From turkeys kept in poultry houses, 925 fecal samples and 944 fecal samples from free-range turkeys were examined. In turkeys that were kept in a poultry house, the total infection with endoparasites was 59.8 %, while in free range, it was 63.3 %. The most common in turkeys 30-60 days old from poultry houses are Histomonas meleagridis (21.5 %), Eimeria spp. (11.5 %) and Cryptosporidium baileyi (15.5 %) and in free-range turkeys - Histomonas meleagridis (15.6 %), Eimeria spp. (7.2 %) and Cryptosporidium baileyi (10.8 %). Cryptosporidium baileyi was not observed in turkeys 360 days old or older. Tetratrichomonas gallinarum was most frequently recorded in turkeys 90 - 120 days old from poultry houses (3.8 %) and turkeys 150 - 180 days old in free range (3.7 %). Ascaridia dissimilis is most common in free-range turkeys 90 - 120 days old (11.8 %) and turkeys 150 - 180 days old from poultry houses (9.5 %). Heterakis gallinarum was primarily recorded in turkeys 150 - 180 days old under both systems of keeping with a value range from 16.2 to 17.2 %. Infestation of 150 - 180-day-old free-range turkeys by cestodes Davainea meleagridis and Raillietina echinobothrida was 15.0 % and 12.9 %, respectively.

The exaggerated application of fertilizers through irrigation caused high salinity values (0.62 %) which is much higher than the indicated toxicity threshold (0.4 %) for cultivated plants. The number of individuals of the bacterivore Acrobeloides and Cuticularia genera, which have a very high stress tolerance, was outstanding in the area. Besides juveniles, the appearance of Meloidogyne incognita males was also recorded which could lead to a change in the genetic composition of the population to adapt to environmental stressors.

The total number of reported cases of intestinal parasites decreased from 4352 for 2011 to 1728 for 2018 and then increased to 2014 cases for 2021. Nearly half of the intestinal parasitic infections were detected among age group of 15 to 44 years. The prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections was higher in males (65.73 %) than females (34.27 %). The prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections was 9 0.47 % for protozoan infections, while the rate of helminth infection was lower (9 .53 %). Entamoeba histolytica/dispar were the most common parasite (60.92 %) followed by Giardia lamblia (29.54 %) and Enterobius vermicularis (8.56 %). Prevalence of infection with intestinal parasites was lowest in March and highest in February.Conclusion: In spite of that intestinal parasitic infection rates appear to be decreasing, intestinal parasitic infection remains an important health problem in the province. Therefore, there is still a need for prevention efforts in the community.","PeriodicalId":55061,"journal":{"name":"Helminthologia","volume":"61 3","pages":"214-223"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11637541/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142830953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It holds significance for public health by identifying potential zoonotic risks. We aimed to describe the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in captive wild birds from a Conservation Institute in Brazilian Cerrado biome. Fresh fecal samples were collected from 17 captive wild birds (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus, Ara ararauna, Ara chloropterus, Ara macao, Megascops choliba, Pteroglossus castanotis, Ramphastos dicolorus, Ramphastos tucanus and Strix huhula) at a Conservation Institution in Mineiros, state of Goiás. The samples were processed for Willis’ simple flotation and Hoffman’s spontaneous sedimentation examinations to identify parasitic forms of gastrointestinal endoparasites. Macaw aviary birds (Ar. ararauna, Ar. chloropterus and Ar. macao) showed higher positivity, with all six fecal samples positive for helminths or protozoa. In contrast, captive toucans showed only two positive results (P. castanotis and R. dicolorus). An. hyacinthinus showed Ascarididae, Capillarinae and Trematoda eggs; whereas S. huhula had Ascarididae eggs. Regular parasitological examinations are essential for the timely detection and treatment of gastrointestinal infections in captive birds, thereby enhancing overall bird management.","PeriodicalId":55061,"journal":{"name":"Helminthologia","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141741443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
