“…The data showed less variability for cattle (150) than goats (875). Even with different breeding (Caninde, Bhuj and Anglo-Nubian) values can be higher for goats, but not for cattle, as shown in other studies: Costa et al (2000) with a mean EPG varying from 302 to 397 (lower than our average of 1,728 EPG), and other studies in goats conducted in Thailand and Bangladesh, with averages of 1,176 and 263 EPG, respectively (RATANAPOB et al, 2012;HASSAN et al, 2011). Our results were higher than other studies with periparturient animals, such as that of Sweeny et al (2011), where a high worm egg count in Dorper lambs was associated with a lower body condition score.…”

Trichostrongylids infection has gained significant public health importance since Trichostrongylus spp. infections have been reported in humans in Lao PDR. In this study, gastrointestinal nematodes were identified and the intensity of infections was determined in goats and cattle, which are animals greatly used for meat production in Lahanam Village, Lao PDR. The total number of goats and bovines was 23 and 29, respectively, pertaining to 32 households surveyed in the area. Feacal samples were randomly collected from 14 goats and 11 bovines. Ninety three percent (13/14) of goats and 36% (3/11) of cattle were infected, with an average of 1,728 and 86 eggs per gram of faeces (EPG), respectively. Coproculture showed Trichostrongylus spp. (goats 16%; bovines 48%), Haemonchus spp. (goats 69%; bovines 37%), Cooperia spp. (bovines 8%) and Oesophagostomum spp. (goats 15%; bovines 6%). After performing the necropsy on an adult goat, Trichuris spp. was also found. We confirmed the presence of Oesophagostomum spp., H. contortus and T. colubriformis by morphology and DNA sequencing analysis of the ITS region of rDNA. Due to interactions between humans and goats in Lahanam Village and high EPG results, the diagnosis of species and the intensity of gastrointestinal nematode infection in these animals are important public-health issues. Other ruminant parasites, such as Oesophagostomum and Haemonchus, found in caprines and bovines, are reported to be causes of zoonosis and their presence in humans should be investigated in future field surveys in this area.

“…Although intestinal parasite infections in production animals are a well-known problem, there are still very few studies on this matter in Thailand (RATANAPOB et al, 2012) and in other countries in Southeast Asia, such as Lao PDR. The study area was located in Ban Lahanam, Savannakhet Province, a southern region of Lao PDR.…”

“…This is likely due to the availability of a wide grazing area within the source location of the host animal, which increased the chance of picking up cysts, ova, larvae or intermediate hosts of these GI helminths in the pastures. In addition, temperature, humidity and rainfall in the grazing area and the grazing behavior of these hosts are also highly favorable for parasite transmission [9,42]. Moreover, susceptibility to infections is influenced by various factors like age, species, health status and previous exposure to parasites [43,44].…”

“…The prevalence of a parasitic infection varies greatly by area, depending on many factors such as level of agriculture, pasture management, micro-and macro-climate of the environment, immunological and nutritional status of the host, presence of intermediate hosts, vectors, and the numbers of infecting larvae and eggs in the environment [7][8][9].…”

The journal implements double-blind peer review practiced by specially invited international editorial board members. Objective: To evaluate the situation regarding gastrointestinal helminth parasites in ruminants (cattle, sheep and goats) slaughtered in the abattoir of Shendi, River Nile State, Sudan. Methods: From September 2015 to October 2016, a total of 687 fecal samples were collected and analyzed by flotation and sedimentation techniques. Results: A total of 411 ruminants examined were positive with one or more helminths, giving 59.8% overall prevalence with intensity of 548.23 eggs per gram feces. A total of 12 gastrointestinal helminth parasite genera were identified, including 2 trematodes (Fasciola spp. and Paramphistomum spp.); 7 nematodes (Haemonchus spp., Strongyloides spp., Trichostrongylus sp., Ostertagia sp., Ascaris spp., Nematodirus spp., and Dictyocaulus sp.); and 3 cestodes (Moniezia sp., Taenia spp., and Dipylidium sp.). Prevalence of Taenia spp. infection was the highest, whereas Trichostrongylus sp. and Dictyocaulus sp. infections had the lowest prevalences. Adult ruminants had higher infection prevalence than the younger ones, but this difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). On the other hand, male ruminants had significantly higher infection prevalence than the females (P < 0.05). Helminth prevalence was significantly higher during the rainy season than the dry season. The highest mean egg outputs were recorded for the young and the female ruminants. Likewise, the mean egg output of helminth was higher during the dry than the rainy season, with a significant difference (P < 0.05). Conclusions: These results encourage implementation of effective preventive and control measures directed against the parasites of ruminants throughout the country.

“…Moreover, coccidiosis caused by genus the Eimeria is one of widely spread parasitic diseases either clinically or subclinically among small ruminants in Egypt and all over the world (Agyei et al 2004;Gadelhaq et al, 2015;Majeed et al 2015). Coccidian parasites contribute to enteric disease particularly in young or goats under stress in poor farm conditions, which lead to high mortality rate among goat kids (Ratanapob et al 2012). Several studies revealed that Balantidium coli (B. coli) and Entamoeba spp.…”

Background: Gastrointestinal parasitic diseases remain an obstacle in goat industry in Egypt and worldwide. This study was conducted for assessing the prevalence of the gastrointestinal parasitic infections among goats in Giza Governorate, Egypt. To fulfill this study, examination of 225 fecal samples of live animals kept by small holders was done, as well as postmortem investigation of 135 random slaughtered goats' gastrointestinal tracts was achieved during the period from March to May 2018. Results: The examination of fecal samples revealed that overall prevalence of gastrointestinal parasitic infections among goats was 89.33%. The respective prevalence of kids, yearling, and adults were 89.16%, 98.44%, and 82.05%. The common parasitic infections prevalent were Coccidia spp. (76.89%), Entamoeba spp. (26.22%), Moniezia spp. (18.22%), Strongyle group (12.88%), Trichuris ovis (5.33%), Strongyloides papillosus (3.55%), Balantidium coli (2.66%), and Fasciola spp. (0.89%), successively. Mixed infection was recorded as 61.77% in the examined goats. The present study showed that the prevalence of infection by Coccidia spp., Moniezia spp., and Strongyle group was the highest in the yearling age group. In contrary, the infection prevalence of Entamoeba spp. was significantly high in the adult age group. No significant difference was found relying on the sex of the goats. The post-slaughtering finding showed that Haemonchus contortus was the most prevalent nematode followed by Trichuris ovis and Trichostrongylus axei. Remarkable infection percentage of Taenia hydatigena metacestode (Cysticercus tenuicolli) is recorded in the omentum of the intestine (31.85%). Conclusions: The present study provides basic data about the most prevalent GIP diseases among goats in Giza Governorate, Egypt, which required for evaluation of the followed management and control measures. This work elicited the risk of transmission of some zoonotic diseases via goats. Fecal examination and postmortem finding-based surveys remain of choice particularly in the deprived investigating areas.
