摘要

本研究于2022年5 - 8月在也门萨那市调查了蜚蠊、美洲大蠊和德国小蠊作为肠道寄生虫机械媒介宿主的作用。系统地从指定区域的市场、垃圾处理区和肉店等不同地点采集了365只蜚蠊样本。对这些样品的外表面进行了准确的寄生虫检查。在365份样本中,198份(54.24%)感染了多种寄生虫,包括原虫、卵和线虫幼虫。调查结果显示,蟑螂外表面存在9种不同的寄生虫,包括3种原生动物包囊和6种蠕虫。其中,大肠内阿米巴(69,60%)、溶组织内阿米巴(61,58%)、蓝氏贾第虫(56,53%)、类蚓蛔虫(45,31%)、小膜膜绦虫(42,35%)、蛭状肠虫(23,17%)、钩虫(9,6%)、毛滴虫(7,3%)、美洲和德国小蠊的粪圆线虫(2,1%)。大肠杆菌为优势寄生虫(69,60)。%),而粪纹单胞虫(2.1%)的流行率最低。Noqum区和Assafi'yah区感染蜚蠊数量最多,分别为71%和63%,科威特医院感染蜚蠊数量最少(5%)。为了提高对这一领域的认识,需要进一步研究从不同蟑螂标本的内(消化道)和外表面分离和鉴定寄生虫。

Cockroaches as Mechanical Vectors of Intestinal Parasites in Sana'a City, Yemen.

This study investigated the role of cockroaches, Periplaneta americana, and Blattella germanica species as mechanical vector hosts for intestinal parasites in Sana'a City, Yemen, from May to August 2022. Three hundred sixty-five cockroach samples were systematically collected from various sites, including markets, garbage disposal areas, and butcher shops in designated regions. These samples were accurately examined for parasites on their external surfaces. Out of the 365 samples, 198 (54.24%) were infected with a variety of parasites, including protozoa, eggs, and larvae of nematodes. This investigation revealed the presence of nine distinct parasite species on the external surfaces of cockroaches, including three species of protozoan cysts and six species of helminths. Specifically, the identified parasites were Entamoeba coli (69, 60%), Entamoeba histolytica/dispar (61, 58%), Giardia lamblia (56, 53%), Ascaris lumbricoides (45, 31%), Hymenolepis nana (42, 35%), Enterobius vermicularis (23, 17%), hookworm (9, 6%), Trichuris trichiura (7, 3%), and Strongyloides stercoralis (2, 1%) of P. americana and B. germanica. The dominant parasite among the samples was E. coli (69, 60.%), whereas S. stercoralis (2, 1%) exhibited the lowest prevalence among the cockroaches collected. Noqum and Assafi'yah zones showed the highest numbers of infected cockroaches, with 71% and 63%, respectively, while the lowest numbers were obtained from Al-Kuwait Hospital (5%). To improve understanding in this area, further investigations would be required to isolate and identify parasites from diverse cockroach specimens' internal (digestive tract) and external surfaces.

期刊介绍: Journal of Parasitology Research is a peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies in all areas of basic and applied parasitology. Articles covering host-parasite relationships and parasitic diseases will be considered, as well as studies on disease vectors. Articles highlighting social and economic issues around the impact of parasites are also encouraged. As an international, Open Access publication, Journal of Parasitology Research aims to foster learning and collaboration between countries and communities.
