“…Though rarely, D. dendriticum, the lancet fluke, was reported carrying zoonotic importance. Samaila et al (2009) described its infection in a 7 year old boy with clinical symptoms of jaundice and fever. Human infection could have been due to accidental ingestion of intermediate hosts, primary or secondary or through raw meat consumption.…”

Sheep and goats, being hardy and prolific in their growth, play a crucial role in cultural and socioeconomic life of rural poor under privileged people in Afro-Asian countries by providing meat, milk, wool and hide to them. Gastrointestinal helminthic infections are worldwide problem in ruminants. They results considerable loss in them causing mortality and poor production. Various helminthes types like trematodes, cestodes and nematodes are prevalent in different climates and geographical regions depending on rearing systems, intermediate host's availability and management practices. Epidemiology of helminthic diseases, though variable at times, is determined by various factors like treatment, climate and poverty (socio-economic and traditional practices). The study oversees gastrointestinal helminthic challenges in goats and sheep faced in Afro-Asian region in last decade. Methodology involves exhaustive exercise of screening and massive literature hunt which included published research, both abstracts and full length papers on the subject in last 10 years in addition to authors own observations. The diseases like Fasciolosis, Dicrocoelosis, Amphistomosis in trematodes, Monieziosis, Avitellinosis in cestodes and Haemonchosis, Trichostronglylosis, Oesophagostomosis, Trichuriosis, Strongyloidosis in nematodes were still serious challenges in the region threatening the small ruminant production. Frequent reports on Marshallgia, Ostertagia, Nematodirus, Stilesia, Thysaniezia spp. from this region showed emerging threats. Infections like Camelostrongylus, Graphidiops, Parabronema and Skrjabinema spp. were scarcely distributed. The paper reviews scientific work and developments of last 10 years on occurrence, distribution and epidemiology of common gastrointestinal helminthic infections of sheep and goats in Afro-Asian region with future research prospective in light of newer scientific approaches.

“…Human cases of dicrocoeliasis have been reported in Nigeria (Roche, 1948, Samaila et al, 2009, Czechoslovakia (Ondriska et al, 1989), Egypt (Massoud et al, 2003), Turkey (Cengiz et al, 2010) and Kyrgyzstan (Jeandron et al, 2011).

“…Human cases of dicrocoeliasis are rare and often occur by accidental ingestion of infected ants on unwashed vegetables, or by drinking contaminated water (Haridy et al, 2003). Human cases of dicrocoeliasis have been reported in Nigeria (Roche, 1948; Samaila et al, 2009), Czechoslovakia (Ondriska et al, 1989), Egypt (Massoud et al, 2003), Turkey (Cengiz et al, 2010) and Kyrgyzstan (Jeandron et al, 2011).

“…After the infected slime ball is ingested by an ant (especially Formica sp. ), the parasite influences the ant's behaviour to favour accidental ingestion along with vegetation by a definitive host (Dittmar and Steyn, 2004;Samaila et al, 2009). The principal clinical symptoms of dicrocoeliasis occur in the bile duct and liver with diarrhoea, weight loss, and anaemia occurring in some cases with severe infection (Markell et al, 1992;Cengiz et al, 2010).…”

Living cheek by jowl: The pathoecology of medieval York

Medieval York was one of the largest and most important cities in England. The close confines of the city, the household and industrial waste, alongside the air and water pollution made this a city known for its pervasive smells, which at the time were considered to be a leading cause of disease.This paper aims to present the environmental context for disease combined with the human osteological record to reconstruct the pathoecology of medieval York. Combining archaeological and historical data, we gain insight into the interplay between medieval culture, disease, health, and the urban environment. It is clear that local authorities were concerned about urban pollution, and historical evidence demonstrates that legal measures were taken to remove or regulate some of the perceived causes of pollution. There is a demonstrable trend towards improving environmental conditions in York between the 11 th and mid-16 th century. However, it is likely that the extant socioenvironmental conditions continued to contribute to morbidity, as evidenced by the prevalence of infection.
