摘要

背景隐孢子虫感染是由一种影响脊椎动物和人类的原生动物寄生虫引起的急性肠胃炎和腹泻的主要原因之一。这种疾病主要发生在免疫力低下的人群中。本研究的目的是确定小牛和住院患者的隐孢子虫感染率，并评估与小牛和住院患者隐孢子虫感染相关的主要风险因素。方法 2020 年 11 月至 2021 年 3 月在埃塞俄比亚西北部的 Libo Kemkem 区对小牛和人类隐孢子虫感染情况进行了横断面研究。本研究采用了医院收治的 193 头小牛和 122 份人类粪便样本。研究人员特意选取了三个区，并采用简单随机抽样法抽取了每头小牛。抽取的小牛数量按比例分配到选定的村落。人体样本采用系统随机抽样法采集。结果本研究发现，犊牛和人类隐孢子虫感染率分别为 15.5%和 11.5%。研究发现，犊牛的年龄、品种、身体状况、水源、粪便浓度和卫生条件与犊牛隐孢子虫感染有显著相关性（p < 0.05）。同样，饮用水源、免疫力低下和与家畜接触与人类隐孢子虫感染也有显著相关性（p < 0.05）。因此，必须通过重要的风险因素，采取适当的方法预防人畜共患病隐孢子虫在犊牛和人类之间的感染。此外，还应开展更多研究，调查该疾病的经济重要性。

Prevalence and associated risk factors of Cryptosporidium infection in calves and hospitalized humans in Libo Kemkem, North Western Ethiopia

BackgroundCryptosporidium infection is one of the major causes of acute gastroenteritis and diarrhoea caused by a protozoan parasite affecting vertebrates and humans. The disease is prevalent in cases of immunocompromised individuals. Despite the impact of the diseases in calf and hospitalized humans, well‐documented studies are not available in the study area.ObjectivesThe objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of Cryptosporidium infection in calves and hospitalized humans and assess the major associated risk factors associated with Cryptosporidium infection in calves and hospitalized humans.MethodA cross‐sectional study was conducted from November 2020 to March 2021 on calf and human Cryptosporidium infection in Libo Kemkem District, North West Ethiopia. A total of 193 calves and 122 human stool samples admitted to the hospital were used for this study. Three kebeles were selected purposely, and individual calves were selected using a simple random sampling method. A number of sampled calves were allocated proportionally to the selected kebeles. Human samples were collected using a systematic random sampling method. Faecal and stool samples were examined using a modified Ziehl–Neelsen staining method.ResultThe overall prevalence of calf and human Cryptosporidium infection found in this study was 15.5% and 11.5%, respectively. Age of calf, breed, body condition, water source, faecal consistency and hygienic condition were found significantly (p < 0.05) associated with Cryptosporidium infection in the calf. Similarly, the source of potable water, immunocompromisation and contact with domestic animals were found to be significantly (p < 0.05) associated with Cryptosporidium infection in humans.ConclusionThere was a higher prevalence of Cryptosporidium infection in calves and humans in Libo Kemkem District. Therefore, the implementation of proper prevention methods of zoonotic Cryptosporidium infection between calf and human beings through significant risk factors is mandatory. Furthermore, additional studies to investigate the levels of economic importance of the disease should be conducted.

期刊介绍： Veterinary Medicine and Science is the peer-reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of research in all areas of veterinary medicine and science. The journal aims to serve the research community by providing a vehicle for authors wishing to publish interesting and high quality work in both fundamental and clinical veterinary medicine and science. Veterinary Medicine and Science publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and research methods papers, along with invited editorials and commentaries. Original research papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented in the paper. We aim to be a truly global forum for high-quality research in veterinary medicine and science, and believe that the best research should be published and made widely accessible as quickly as possible. Veterinary Medicine and Science publishes papers submitted directly to the journal and those referred from a select group of prestigious journals published by Wiley-Blackwell. Veterinary Medicine and Science is a Wiley Open Access journal, one of a new series of peer-reviewed titles publishing quality research with speed and efficiency.
