Prevalence of zoonotic trematodes in fish from a Vietnamese fish-farming community.
The prevalence of fish-borne zoonotic trematode (FZT) metacercariae was investigated in fish farmed by rural households in Nghe An Province, located in northern Vietnam. In total, 716 fish, including tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and 6 carp species, i.e., grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus), bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis), mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala), common carp (Cyprinus carpio), silv...
متن کاملPoultry as reservoir hosts for fishborne zoonotic trematodes in Vietnamese fish farms.
Fishborne zoonotic trematodes (FZT) are widespread in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. It is now recognized that the risk of being infected from eating raw fish dishes applies not only to humans, but also to domestic animals (e.g., cats, dogs, and pigs) and fish-eating birds. The role of ducks and chicken, commonly raised on fish farms, as reservoir hosts, however, has not been adequately investigat...
متن کاملPrevention and Control of Fish-borne Zoonotic Trematodes in Fish Nurseries, Vietnam
Worldwide, >18 million persons were infected with fish-borne zoonotic trematodes in 2002. To evaluate the effectiveness of interventions for reducing prevalence and intensity of fish-borne zoonotic trematode infections in juvenile fish, we compared transmission rates at nurseries in the Red River Delta, northern Vietnam. Rates were significantly lower for nurseries that reduced snail population...
متن کاملRelationship between Snail Population Density and Infection Status of Snails and Fish with Zoonotic Trematodes in Vietnamese Carp Nurseries
BACKGROUND Fish-borne zoonotic trematodes (FZT) are a food safety and health concern in Vietnam. Humans and other final hosts acquire these parasites from eating raw or under-cooked fish with FZT metacercariae. Fish raised in ponds are exposed to cercariae shed by snail hosts that are common in fish farm ponds. Previous risk assessment on FZT transmission in the Red River Delta of Vietnam ident...
متن کاملFish-borne Trematodes in Vietnam
From 1976 to 2000, over 30,000 human stool samples from 38 communes in 15 provinces were examined. The average infection rate of Clonorchis and Opisthorchis in the provinces examined was 21%. In these provinces, the infection rates were distributed as follows: 0.6% in Ha Giang, 0.2% in Thai Binh, 16.3% in Bac Giang, 13.1% in Hai Phong, 5% in Hoa Binh, 16% in Ha Tay, 3-37.5% in Nam Dinh, 3% in H...
