Cysts and parasites in an abattoir in Northwest Ethiopia; an urgent call for action on "one health" Institute of Tropical Medicine
Introduction: Zoonotic parasitic infections such as echinococcosis affect cattle, sheep and goats by lowering quality of meat and hides as well as decreasing milk production. The burden of such diseases among humans is usually underestimated as they are difficult to diagnose. We used abattoir data to estimate the prevalence of zoonotic parasitic infections in animals.
Methodology: Data from 2005-2018 was used from the registry of an ...

Taenia hydatigena in pigs in Burkina Faso: a cross-sectional abattoir study Institute of Tropical Medicine Ghent University
Taenia hydatigena is a non-zoonotic cestode that has canines as definitive hosts and ruminants and pigs as intermediate hosts. In pigs, its presence causes cross-reactivity in serological testing for Taenia solium cysticercosis. Therefore, knowledge on the occurrence of T. hydatigena is paramount for validly estimating the seroprevalence of T. solium cysticercosis in pigs. In a cross-sectional abattoir study, we estimated the prevalence of T. ...
