Abstract: From 2012 to 2013 were surveyed gastrointestinal parasites from pig farms located in different municpaliyies in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Fecal samples from 790 pigs were collected from the rectum on 88 family farms and 702 farms with industrial production. The samples were subjected to Faust et al., Sheather, Ritchie, Lutz and direct examination faecal techniques. The estimated parasite prevalence was 93.1% in family farms and 59.1% in industrial farms. Balantidium coli, coccidia and Entamoeba sp. were the… Show more

“…This might be due to the differences in the sampling criteria as they targeted scavenging pigs and had included only a few pigs from organised farms. Similarly, infection of pigs with GI parasites with prevalence rates varying between 13.2 to 96.4 % has been widely reported from all corners of world (Roepstorff & Jorsal 1989;Roepstorff et al, 1998;;Tamboura et al ., 2006;Tiwari et al, 2009;Ismail et al, 2010;Lai et al, 2011;Obonyo et al, 2013;Dey et al, 2014;Okorafor et al, 2014;Alynne et al, 2015;Lipendele et al,2015;Atawalna et al, 2015;Nonga & Paulo, 2015;Junhui et al, 2015;Roesel et al, 2017;Chilundo et al, 2017;Kouam et al, 2018) .The parasite spectrum was similar to that of previous studies from other tropical or subtropical countries (Tamboura et al, 2006;Nissen et al, 2011;Chilundo et al, 2017). Within Punjab state, India, Central plain zone and undulating plain zone have more humid conditions as compared to other zones, thus facilitating survival, development and propagation of the pre-parasitic stages of the GI parasites, hence higher prevalence rates.…”

“…Moreover, the close association between pigs and humans enables cross-infection with a range of zoonotic parasites like Tae nia solium, Trichinella spiralis and Toxoplasma gondii, all of which contribute deleteriously to human health. Pigs are infected with wide range of gastrointestinal (GI) parasites with reports from all corners of the world (Permin et al, 1999;Tamboura et al2006;Lai et al, 2011;Navarro-Gonzalez et al, 2013;Yui et al, 2014;Alynne et al, 2015;Junhui et al, 2015;Kabululu et al, 2015;) including India (Laha et al, 2014;Dadas et al, 2016;Joute et al, 2016;Krishna Murthy et al, 2016;Singh et al, 2017;Patra et al, 2019). Age, sex of animal, management practices and geographical location are the major risk factors associated with GI parasites in pigs (Permin et al, 1999;Geresu et al, 2015;Roesel et al, 2017).…”

“…The study suggested strong correlation between the possession of swine farming with the infection. This finding was in agreement with other study, in which Balantidium coli being the most prevalent protozoa in the pig farms [12]. Most of the swine and cattle farms in this study population were managed traditionally.…”

“…In animals affected by gastrointestinal parasites, losses in performance may occur, mainly because they favor the occurrence of secondary infections by opportunistic pathogens (Linhares et al, 2012). The economic losses associated with endoparasitic infections are due to reduction in feed efficiency, low number of piglets born, low weight of the offspring, low weight at weaning, reduced fertility, and interference in the immune response to vaccines (Steehard et al, 2009;Barbosa et al, 2015).…”

“…(Freire et al, 1996;Nishi et al, 2000;Calderaro et al, 2001;Fiuza et al, 2008). Among the helminths, the most occurrent ones are the nematodes Ascaris suum (Nishi et al, 2000;Hoff et al, 2005;D´Alencar et al, 2006;Aguiar, 2009;Dias et al, 2011;Barbosa et al, 2015) and those of the order Strongylida, such as Trichostrongylus axei, Hyostrongylus sp. and Oesophagostomum sp.…”
