RESUMO
Objective To investigate the infection status of A ngiostrongylus cantonensis in winkle from 9 cities in Guizhou Province.Methods The winkles were collected randomly from aquatic products wholesale market,agricultural market or restaurants in 9 cities (Guiyang,Zunyi,Tongren,Kaili,Anshun,Duyun,Xingyi,Bijie and Shuicheng) and classified in Guizhou Province,and the third-stage larvas of Angiostrongylus cantonensis were separated and detected with microscopy by tissue homogenization (Pomacea canaliculata was first checked with lung screening method,and then rechecked by tissue homogenization),and infection rate was calculated.Results Totally 2 177 winkles were tested,the overall infection rate of Angiostrongylus cantonensis was 1.5％ (32/2 177),among them,Pomacea canaliculata was 1 287,five was positive,and the infection rate was 0.4％; Achatinafulica was 240,positive 27,the infection rate was 11.3％; Bellamya lithophaga was 372 and all 278 Cipangopaludina chinensis was not positive.Conclusions There is a higher risk of infection with Angiostrongylus cantonensis if eating winkles.The third-stage larva in Pomacea canaliculata and Achatina fulica has been found in Guizhou Province.Market management,food-safety inspection of the winkles on sale,and public health education should be strengthened.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of comprehensive control in demonstration plots of parasitic diseases in Guizhou Province. METHODS: The data of parasitic disease control in demonstration plots from 2006 to 2009 were collected and analyzed, including deworming, water and latrines renovation, health education, survey on infections in crowd, etc. RESULTS: After 3 years comprehensive control, the infection rates of soil-transmitted nematodes among people reduced from 30.25% to 8.37%, with the reduction rate of 72.32%. The infection rates of Ascaris lumbricoides, hookworm and Trichuris trichiura reduced from 26.88%, 2.86% and 4.13% to 7.43%, 0.09% and 1.13%, respectively. The awareness rate of health knowledge among residents increased from 44.18% to 93.64%, with an increasing rate of 111.94%. The coverage rate of non-hazardous sanitary latrines was 81.29%. The beneficial rate of the water renovation reached 96.31%. CONCLUSIONS: The comprehensive control strategies mainly based on health education and infectious source control correspond to the reality of rural parasitic disease control nowadays. The comprehensive control model integrating government leadership, department cooperation and social concern is useful for parasitic disease control and should be popularized.
