Hepatitis E virus (HEV) causes an orofecal disease transmitted through poor hygiene environments, contaminated food (mainly pork products), or by contacts with infected animals. Very little data are currently available regarding the in Southwestern Indian Ocean Islands. We report first sero- and viro-survey for HEV human swine Madagascar. A seroprevalence rate of 14.1% (60 427) was measured slaughterhouse workers. Seroprevalence to pigs estimated 71.2% (178 250), strongly suggesting...
Taenia solium cysticercosis is a parasitic meat-borne disease that highly prevalent in pigs and humans Africa, but the burden vastly underestimated due to lack of official control along pork commodity chain, which hampers long-term policies.The apparent corrected prevalences T. were investigated carcasses slaughtered retailed Antananarivo (Madagascar), thanks 12-month monitoring plan two urban abattoirs.Overall prevalence was estimated at 4.6% [4.2 - 5.0%]. The overall defined as after...
La cysticercose est une maladie parasitaire largement répandue dans les pays en développement d’Amérique latine, d’Afrique et d’Asie. Cette tropicale négligée représente contrainte économique forte pour la filière porcine un grave problème de santé publique à Madagascar. Plusieurs centaines cas humains sont enregistrés chaque année hôpitaux capitale malgache. Les éleveurs ruraux classent première place, devant pestes porcines du fait sa fréquence perte qu’elle engendre. Cependant aucune...
Neurocysticercosis is recognized as an important health issue in the Malagasy population. To date, investigations into prevalence of infection with causative agent, Taenia solium, parasite's natural animal intermediate hosts, have relied on serological methods which been found to be non-specific. We determined porcine cysticercosis among pigs from a contiguous area Betafo and Mandoto administrative districts, Vakinankaratra Region, Madagascar. One hundred four slaughter-weight were examined...
Four methods were compared for the diagnosis of human taeniasis caused by Taenia solium. Fecal samples from persons living in a T. solium endemic region Madagascar examined taeniid eggs Kato–Katz method. Subsequently, positive (n = 16) and negative 200) (i) amplification fragment small subunit mitochondrial ribosomal RNA (rrnS) gene using conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (ii) nested PCR Tso31 gene. Additionally, 12 egg-positive all egg-negative tested coproantigen detection. A...
