Presencia de Hymenolepis nana y diminuta en roedores de la ciudadela las Piñas, Milagro-Ecuador y su riesgo en salud pública

Abstract: La Hymenolepidiosis es una zoonosis de prevalencia mundial, sobre todo en niños, es causada por cestodos de roedores denominados Hymenolepis (H) nana e Hymenolepis diminuta, es muy frecuente en países en vías de desarrollo, con climas cálidos, templados y secos. El ciclo biológico de la H. nana no requiere de hospederos intermediarios, y su transmisión habitual es fecal-oral (por ingesta de huevos infectivos); y la infección de H. diminuta se da a través de la ingestión de artrópodos tenebriónidos con la forma… Show more

“…Low prevalence rates of infection with H. nana were reported in rats from Ethiopia and Italy (Kassa & Assefa, 2000;Milazzo et al, 2010). On the other hand, Al-Bashan & Sabra, and Coello-Peralta two different studies, recorded a higher infection rate in black rats collected from Saudi Arabia Las, Pinas and Philippines (Al-Bashan & Sabra, 2012;Coello-Peralta et al, 2020).…”

“…In a study carried out in the Primero de Noviembre citadel of the city of Jipijapa, of 105 children, ranging in age from 1 to years, 1 child (0.95%) was positive for H. nana eggs. However, 6 cases (60%) of H. nana infection were determined in rodents from the studied area; however, in a rodent sampling in 2018, out of 87 captured and processed rodents, 20 cases (22.99%) of H. nana infection were determined in a marginal urban area of the city of Milagro, according to Coello et al [2]. Solorzano et al [18], in urban and rural areas of 5 provinces of Ecuador, determined that out of 191 animals sampled, 10 were positive (5%) for H. nana.…”

“…Hymenolepiasis is a neglected zoonotic disease that affects humans and is caused by the tapeworms Hymenolepis nana [1] (dwarf tapeworm) and Hymenolepis diminuta [2] (rat tapeworm), whose definitive hosts are rodents [3]. However, H. nana is the most common cause of all tapeworm infections in humans and is a major cause of morbidity in developing countries, mainly in areas with poor hygiene and sanitation.…”
