In order to make effective managerial decisions regarding sanitary-epidemiological and preventive measures, the environmental factors potentially affecting the ascariasis epidemic process in the Vladimir region (Russia) have been searched. The archived statistics on ascariasis incidence among the population has been analyzed concerning the state of the environment, socio-economic situation, as well as climate indicators in region. Statistical data processing and correlation and regression analysis have been performed using the STATISTICA software. The maps have been compiled and edited using ArcView 3.1 GIS and standard Paint computer programs. The study showed that climatic environmental parameters determining the possibility of ascaris developing eggs in the environment reaching the infective stage retain the leading role in ascariasis epidemiology in the Vladimir region. The regional factor influencing the epidemic process is air pollution from stationary objects. The mathematical equation was made to forecast the morbidity level in the region. The obtained data can be used for risk assessment of ascariasis infection in order to ensure biological safety in the region.

Reduced infant rhesus macaque growth rates due to environmental enteric dysfunction and association with histopathology in the large intestine

et al. 2022

Environmental enteric dysfunction is associated with malnutrition as well as infant growth stunting and has been classically defined by villous blunting, decreased crypt-to-villus ratio, and inflammation in the small intestine. Here, we characterized environmental enteric dysfunction among infant rhesus macaques that are naturally exposed to enteric pathogens commonly linked to human growth stunting. Remarkably, despite villous atrophy and histological abnormalities observed in the small intestine, poor growth trajectories and low serum tryptophan levels were correlated with increased histopathology in the large intestine. This work provides insight into the mechanisms underlying this disease and indicates that the large intestine may be an important target for therapeutic intervention.

Background This study aimed to assess secular trends and epidemiological status of ascariasis infestations and to explore its effects on the nutritional transition among Chinese children from 2000 to 2014. Methods Data were collected from 69 435 Chinese children aged 7-year-olds and 9-year-olds in 4 successive cross-sectional surveys of Chinese National Survey on Students’ Constitution and Health. Ascariasis infestation was defined by using the Kato-Katz method. Nutritional status was classified into stunting, thinness, overweight, and obesity by WHO definition. Results From 2000 to 2014, the ascariasis infestation rates decreased from 9.1% to 1.7%, the stunting and thinness prevalence decreased from 4.3% and 13.8% to 0.7% and 7.1%, while the overweight and obesity prevalence increased from 3.6% and 2.1% to 9.8% and 9.1%, respectively. Compared to children in the ascariasis noninfestation group, those infected with ascariasis had a worse nutritional status. Yet, the disparity in nutritional status between 2 groups disappeared over time. Provinces with a higher gross domestic product per capita simultaneously had lower ascariasis infestation rates, lower stunting and thinness prevalence, and higher overweight and obesity prevalence. Conclusions The retardation effects caused by ascariasis infestation on nutritional status in Chinese children seemed to be offset by the rapid economic development and nutritional transition over time; nevertheless, multiple prevention and control measures are still needed and should be continuously strengthened.
