Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are caused by roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and thread worms. Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment, prevention, control of these infections. This study evaluates a new diagnostic method called Single-image Parasite Quantification (SIMPAQ), which uses lab-on-a-disc (LoD) technique to isolate STH eggs into single imaging zone digital analysis. The the purification performance SIMPAQ detecting in animal samples. was...
African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT) affects livestock productivity in sub-Saharan Africa. This study aimed to determine cattle AAT's prevalence and associated risk factors Lambwe Valley, Kenya.In a cross-sectional survey, owners were recruited from four villages of Homa Bay, Kenya. Blood samples collected the jugular veins cattle, buffy coat smears examined under microscope. Parasites further detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Using semistructured questionnaire, interviewed on...
Bovine trypanosomiasis is a significant health concern for livestock intensification in Côte d’Ivoire. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and distribution of pathogenic trypanosomes identify most infected cattle breed northern d'Ivoire. We examined 700 found that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was more sensitive (12.3%) than microscopic observation (5.6%). Among trypanosome species detected naturally cattle, Trypanosoma vivax 7.3%, simiae tsavo 6.7%, congolense 0.4%. The overall...
Background: Toxoplasmosis caused by Toxoplasma gondii is an important but neglected zoonotic disease of global distribution. The study aimed at evaluating community knowledge, awareness, and practices linked to transmission control the among residents urban peri-urban areas Mbeya District, Tanzania. Methods: A cross-section was conducted from January 2022 March in district. semi-structured questionnaire self-administered gather information on social demographic characteristics, risk...
The success of any tsetse control program depends on the knowledge their behaviour. This study assessed host choice and feeding behaviours Glossina morsitans siblings whose parents were bloodfed rabbits, guinea pigs, rodents, squirrels. Each individual was placed in a screen cage, which allowed flies to enter through openings each side. groups (20 per replicate), colour-marked differently based parents’ blood meal hosts, released from centre large semi-field cage. aspirated after 24 h then...
The potential danger to livestock from African animal trypanosomiasis is well known. However, the trypanosome species circulating in cattle and their genetics are poorly understood. After different alignments according three regions (ITS1, gGAPDH rRNA gene) of genome, phylogenetic analyses were used show genetic diversity that (Bagoue, Poro Tchologo) Côte d’Ivoire. These performed by alignment ITS1; partial 18S, ITS1, 5.8S, ITS2 28S genes; gene with sequences Trypanosomes found GenBank....
The resistance of trypanosomes to the doses trypanocide administered by farmers their animals acts as a real brake on efforts control combat African trypanosomiasis. Thus, in-depth knowledge use these different molecules and profiles will be necessary establish an integrated strategy To achieve objectives, participatory survey among diagnosis trypanosome strains identified in three regions northern Côte d'Ivoire (Bagoué, Poro Tchologo) was carried out using PCR-RFLP technique, followed...
Myxobolus species are Myxosporean parasites affecting various fish, causing diseases that weaken populations and result in substantial economic losses aquaculture fisheries. Despite extensive studies Asia, Europe, the Americas, there is limited research on Africa, particularly Tanzania, where fisheries vital. This study investigated prevalence genetic characteristics of 384 fish samples from Dar es Salaam (Indian Ocean) Mwanza (Lake Victoria). Samples were examined for cysts spores using...
Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease that increasingly becoming an important but neglected of global concern. Cats and other feline species are the definitive host while rodents reservoirs Toxoplasma gondii causative agent disease. The study aimed to establish both infection exposure status in cats Mbeya District, Tanzania. A cross-sectional was employed where total 300 52 were obtained from purposively selected wards district. To statutes serum brain tissue collected for laboratory analysis....
