Trichuriosis is a disease in mammals caused by the whipworms of genus Trichuris. These worms are known for high burden they cause humans and domestic animals, especially sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, we investigated prevalence seasonal variations Trichuris multimammate rats (Mastomys natalensis). The study was conducted between January November 2021 Tanzania, two regions (Morogoro Iringa) that differ their eco-climatic conditions. Removal trapping using Sherman® live traps during rainy...
Abstract Rodents play an important role in the transmission of zoonotic diseases. This study investigated prevalence Leptospira spp. and Bartonella Mastomys natalensis its ectoparasites (fleas mites) selected villages Morogoro, Tanzania. were captured live fallow habitats using Sherman ® traps anesthetized Halothane. Blood samples obtained from retroorbital sinus Ectoparasites removed fur a hard brush preserved 70 % ethanol. Real time–qPCR was used to detect spp . blood respectively. The...
