“…This rate of parasitism is almost identical to that recorded Addis Abeba in Ethiopia (45.3 %) ( Aklilu et al , 2015 ). However, it is higher than the results of other studies which have reported: 29.3 % in India ( Ghosh et al , 2014 ), 23.7 % in Kenya ( Damen et al , 2015 ), 20.11 % in Saudi Arabia ( Haouas et al , 2021 ), 14.3 % in Ghana ( Abaka-Yawson et al , 2020 ), 21.5 % in Tunisia ( Masmoudi et al , 2012 ), 28 % in Algeria ( Belkessa et al , 2021 ), 17.9 % in France ( Rousset et al , 1993 ), 19.3 % in Iran ( Teimouri et al , 2021 ) and 14.5 % Northern Ethiopia ( Gezehegn et al , 2017 ).…”

Summary Cooks have an important role in the dissemination and transmission of enteropathogenic microorganisms, including intestinal parasites such as Blastocystis sp. responsible for blastocystosis. Blastocystis is a unicellular, anaerobic, eukaryotic protist that colonizes the intestinal tract of many hosts. It is the most common parasite found in human stool. It can be the cause of acute digestive disorders which could lead to chronic syndromes such as irritable bowel syndrome. The aim of the present study is to determine the prevalence of this protozoan in cooks in the Fez-Meknes region. This is a retrospective descriptive analytical study carried out in the Parasitology-Mycology laboratory of the Moulay Ismail Military Hospital in Meknes. Out of a total of 200 parasitological examinations of cooks’ stools, 88 (44 %) cases were positive for intestinal parasites. Blastocystis sp. is the most frequently encountered protozoan in our study. It represents 39.78 % of those infected. It is associated in 48.57 % of cases with another intestinal parasite. Dientamoeba fragilis (D. fragilis) is the most found in 31.43 % of co-infections, respectively followed by Entamoeba coli (E. coli) (8.57 %), Endolimax nana (E. nana) (5.71 %) and Pseudolimax boutschlii (P. boutschlii) (2.86 %). Our results showed a high prevalence of Blastocystis sp. in the kitchen staff population. These workers must be considered as reservoirs of this microorganism, and therefore a source of infection in those around them. Consequently, preventive measures are necessary, including raising awareness among this population in order to effectively fight against the infestation by this protozoan in particular and other parasites in general.

Blastocystis sp is the most common intestinal parasite found in humans. Its role in human health is widely discussed due to the high proportion of asymptomatic carriers. Hence the interest of our study to objectify the number of subjects infested by this parasite in our population. This is a retrospective study carried out over a period of ten years, from January 2009 until December 2018, in the parasitology-mycology laboratory of the Avicenna military hospital in Marrakech. 13,255 subjects were included with at least one parasitological examination of the stool, of which 2,799 examinations were positive, with a simple parasite index of 21.11%. Blastocystis hominis was found in 675 subjects with a specific parasite index of 5.09%, and it was co-associated in 446 subjects with a specific parasite index (IPSp) of 3.36%. The most frequent association was that of Blastocystis hominis and E. histolytica/dispar with a rate of (25.5%) of all polyparasitic patients followed by the combination of Blastocystis hominis and Entamoeba coli (20.8%), the combination of Blastocystis hominis and Endolimax nana with a rate of (16, 1%) and lastly Blastocystis hominis and Entamoeba hartmani (5.3% In patients with polyparasitism, the association of Blastocystis hominis with Entamoeba coli was 20.8%, with Endolimax nana with a rate of 16.1% and finally with Entamoeba hartmani with a prevalence of 5.3%. It is always necessary to insist on strict observance of the rules of prophylaxis against oral-fecal contamination.
