“…The prevalence of A. suum infection in suburban wild boars (7.1%) is lower than previously noted among suburban wild boars in Belgrade (9.37%) [29]. A. suum has been found in wild boar in Poland [30], Spain [31], Brazil [24], Russia [18], and Finland [32]. Also, our data indicate that, while A. suum was not present in lighter animals, i.e., under 40 kg, it was found in 21.1% of individuals in the 40-70 kg range.…”

“…Another study conducted in Northwestern Poland recorded an infection rate of 58.8% in forest-dwelling wild boar [15]. Other authors have also identified Eimeria protozoa in these animals, with extensities of 33.33% in Italy [16], 7.5% in Bulgaria [17], and 3% in Russia [18]. Such variation can be related to environmental factors (e.g., warmer winters).…”

The aim of this study was to compare the species composition of gastrointestinal parasites in wild boar feeding in the city of Szczecin with those in its suburban area, as well as to determine the prevalence and intensity of this parasite infection. The intestines and stomachs of 57 wild boars were supplied by a municipal hunter from the city of Szczecin. Both analysed groups of animals were infected with the following parasites: Eimeria debliecki, E. suis, E. polita, E. scabra, Isospora suis, Ascaris suum and Oesophagostomum dentatum. Wild boar from the city were characterised as having a significantly higher prevalence of total Eimeria (p = 0.04) and a lower prevalence of noted species of nematodes (p = 0.15) compared to those from the suburban area. Since the wild boars were mainly infected with Eimeria, it should be assumed that they may pose a real health threat to farm pigs and other farm animals for which Eimeria is a pathogenic parasite. The occurrence of coccidiosis leads to serious health problems and economic losses for breeders. Although the prevalence of A. suum was low, it should be taken into account that this nematode is able to both infect and complete their life cycle in humans.

Ascaris suum and Macracanthorhynchus hirudinaceus cause a large loss of yield in farm animals as well as in free-living and captive wild boar herds, thereby causing economic damage. This study compared A. suum and M. hirudinaceus infections in free-ranging and captive wild boars (Sus scrofa) in Hungary. The authors measured the A. suum and M. hirudinaceus infections of a 248-hectare wild boar garden and an 11,893-hectare free-living wild boar herd in the sample area. In all cases, samples were collected from shot wild boars. In total, 216 wild boars were examined from June 2015 to June 2023 in Hungary. Of the 173 dissected wild boars from the wild, 57 (32.9%) were infected with A. suum, while 30 (69.8%) of the 43 individuals from the captive area were infected. The prevalence of M. hirudinaceus in the free-living area population was 9.25% (16 wild boars), while that of the captive population was 34.89% (15 wild boars). In the case of the examined helminths, the captive herd was 36.9% more infected than the herd living in the open area.

BackgroundIntestinal parasite infection is a significant public health problem worldwide. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites among primary school children, identify the most common types of parasites, and identify the risk factors contributing to infection in Aden, Yemen.Methodology/Principal FindingsAn analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 201 school children in Aden, Yemen. Stool specimens were collected and tested using direct methods (saline and iodine preparations) and sedimentation concentration techniques. Data analysis was performed using SPSS (Version 21) with p ≤ 0.05 considered statistically significant. The overall prevalence of intestinal parasites was 47.3%; 35.8% had a single parasite and 11.5% had multiple parasites. Higher rates were observed among female schoolchildren (51.2%), children whose mothers had primary education (51.3%), secondary education (50%), housewives (48.5%), and children aged >9 years (50%). The most predominant parasite was Entamoeba histolytica/dispar (36.3%). There was no significant association between the identified risk factors and intestinal parasitic infections.Conclusions/SignificanceThe prevalence rate of intestinal parasites is high in Aden, Yemen, with Entamoeba histolytica/dispar being the most dominant parasite. The highest rates were found among female schoolchildren, those whose mothers were housewives with primary or secondary education, and children aged >9 years.Author SummaryIntestinal parasite infections are a major health issue in many parts of the world, especially in developing countries like Yemen. This study investigated the prevalence of these infections among primary school children in Aden, Yemen. By analyzing stool samples from 201 children, we found that nearly half were infected with at least one type of parasite. The most common parasite was Entamoeba histolytica/dispar, affecting more than a third of the children. We also discovered that certain groups of children were more likely to be infected, such as older children, girls, and those whose mothers had lower levels of education or were housewives. Understanding these patterns can help in developing targeted interventions to reduce the spread of these infections and improve children’s health and educational outcomes.
