Master Title
Epidemiological studies on Toxoplasmosis in animals and humans in Beni-Suef.
Master Abstract
Toxolasmosis is considered to be one of the zoonotic diseases which are caused by a parasitic protozoan Toxoplasma gondii (T.gondii), which infests humans worm blooded animals and birds.
Toxoplasmosis causes abortion in pregnant women in addition to great economic losses in specially sheep and goats. So that this epidemiological study aims to determine the prevalence of the sporulated oocyst of T. gondii in cat feces (either owned or stray cats), also the prevalence of the disease in human beings of different ages and sexes, and the prevalence of the disease in the blood of animals slaughtered abattoirs with demonstration of toxoplasma cyst in animal meat.
The steps of the study were done as follows:
A total 509 animals, cat, and human samples were collected from different localities in Beni-Suef Governorate.
Fecal samples were collected from stray and indoor cats in the following respective numbers, 90 stray cats and 12 indoor cats.
26 of stray cat samples were examined parasitological by concentration flotation technique.
26 of stray cat samples show sporulated oocysts in their feces while two only of indoor cats show that.
Concerning human samples, they were collected for serological examination. A total of 165 blood samples were collected from inpatients, outpatients and normal individuals for serological examination by IHAT
??? ????? ???????? ? ??????? ???????? and ELISA test. Out of these samples, 78 were chosen according to their IHAT results for examination by ELISA detecting IgM and IgG.
Concerning the animal samples, they were collected from different animal species slaughtered in abattoirs in the following respective numbers: cattle 60, buffaloes 30, sheep 97, goats 29 and camels 26.
Of these animal’s blood samples were examines serologically by IHAT.
The animal tissue samples were examined by digestion technique.
Examination of cat fecal samples revealed an incidence of 28.9% and 16.7% for stray and indoor cats respectively.
Regarding the total incidence of serologically positive human cases it was 47.27%.
The majority of human cases (58.9%) were tracked back to direct contact with cat whereas only 29.48% contracted the infection ingestion of raw or under cooked meat, and only 11.53 has unknown source of infection.
The human age-wise positivity was founded maximum in the group 31-40 years (55.17%) followed by the age group 21-30 (51.4 %), while it was (50%) in the age group 41-50 years.
The incidence of serologically positive cases was higher in males (50.77%) than in females (45%).
Toxoplasmosis was detected throughout the year without significant statically difference as follows respectively: Winter (29.5%), Spring (25.6%), summer (21.8%) and autumn (23.1%).
The personal contact with cat, and raw or undercooked meat occupations accounted for the majority of serologically positive cases who show incidence of 29.5%, 28.2%, for farmers, house wives respectively.
There was a significant relationship between toxoplasmosis and abortion as 71.4% from the tested pregnant females having abortion due toxoplasmosis while only 28.6% aborted due to other causes.
??? ????? ???????? ? ??????? ???????? The infection rate statically differs in the three gestational periods as it was 21.62% in the first stage, 20.83% in the second stage and 18.18% in the third stage.
Examination of cattle, buffaloes, goats and camels blood samples revealed incidence of serologically positive animals of 18.13%, 10%, 13.8% and7.7% respectively while the isolation of the cyst from their meat failed.
Examination of sheep blood samples revealed incidence of serological positive animals of 31.9% and successful isolation of the cyst from its meat by the digestion technique.
The study ended by some advices for prevention and control of Toxoplasmosis
PHD Title
Seroepidemiological studies on the role of fish in transmitting some zoonotic diseases to man
PHD Abstract
Samples were collected from a total of 300 fish of tilapia species beside 73 humans dealing with fish in the period September /2005 through September /2006 in Beni-Suef and ElFayoum Governorates, Egypt. Examination for the presence of bacteria and parasites was conducted.
Fish samples were obtained from two farms, one in ElFayoum and the other in Beni-Suef Governorates, as well as from markets in Beni-Suef and El-Wasta localities. A questionnaire was constructed and data were collected about the farms and the macroscopic appearance of the examined fish.
The collected samples included surface swabs, samples from gills and scales and, additionally, samples from muscles and internal organs.
Human chosen for this study were those in common contact with fish. They included two groups; farm workers and fish sellers. A questionnaire was filled out for each case including personal and epidemiological data. The collected samples were hand swabs (73) and stool samples (13).
??? ????? ???????? ? ??????? ???????? Trails for bacterial and parasitological isolation using the conventional bacteriological and parasitological methods were conducted on all samples. Moreover, experimental infection in cats was performed aiming to obtain the adult forms of the recovered encysted metacercaria.
Bacteriological examination of the fish samples revealed an isolation rate of 30.3%. The isolated microorganisms were Staph-aureus (4.3%), A. hydrophila (9.7%), Proteus spp. (3%), Shigella spp. (1.7%), P. aeurogenosa (2%) and P. fluorescence (2%).
The occurrence of isolated microorganisms in examined farms and markets accounted for 28% and 30% in farm I and Farm II and for 36% and 30.7 % in El-Wasta and Beni-Suef markets, respectively, with highest rate of isolation during warm months.
The parasitological examinations of fish samples indicate that the rate of infestation was 24.3% for external parasites and 26.7% for the encysted metacercaria. The small fish were more infected with the encysted metacercaria. The predilection seat of the encysted metacercaria was in the oral cavity (70%) and middle third of fish muscles (68.8%), which proved by the macroscopic examination and experimental infection of cat to be
??? ????? ???????? ? ??????? ???????? C. complenatum, Het. Heterophys, Prohemostomum vivax, Centrocestus aramatus and Haplorchis pumelio.
Bacteriological Examination of human samples revealed that 9 of 73 (13.7%) hand swabs and 3 of 13 (23.1%) stool samples were positive. The isolated microorganisms were Staph-aureus (12.3%) and
A. hydrophila (23.1%). On the other hand, out of 13 stool samples examined, 1 (7.7%) demonstrated a positive result indicating the presence of E.hystolitica cyst.
It was notable that Het. hetrophyes eggs were not isolated from any of the human samples, although their cysts were recovered from fish muscles.
The epidemiological factors involved in animal and human fish borne pathogens in Beni-Suef Governorate and the actions as well as measures that can be taken to minimize the public concern were discussed
