• 18 million persons were infected with fish-borne zoonotic trematodes in 2002. (cdc.gov)
  • These interventions can be used in the development of programs for sustained control of zoonotic trematodes in farmed fish. (cdc.gov)
  • 18 million persons were infected with fish-borne zoonotic trematodes (FZTs) in 2002 ( 1 , 2 ), and the World Health Organization recently added FZT infections to its list of emerging infectious diseases. (cdc.gov)
  • BACKGROUND: To investigate the species of zoonotic trematodes and the endemic infection status in the domestic animals in Huainan areas, north Anhui province of China, we intent to provide evidences for prevention of the parasitic zoonoses. (bvsalud.org)
  • Depending on the habitat in the infected host, flukes can be classified as blood flukes, liver flukes, lung flukes, or intestinal flukes (see Classification of trematodes according to their habitat). (medscape.com)
  • Liver and intestinal trematodes are major fish-borne zoonotic parasites of humans. (cdc.gov)
  • Parafossarulus anomalospiralis is a species of freshwater snail with gills and an operculum, an aquatic prosobranch gastropod mollusk in the family Bithyniidae. (wikipedia.org)
  • The flukes that cause most human infections are Schistosoma species (blood fluke), Paragonimus westermani (lung fluke), and Clonorchis sinensis (liver fluke). (medscape.com)
  • Rates were significantly lower for nurseries that reduced snail populations and trematode egg contamination in ponds than for nurseries that did not. (cdc.gov)
  • Trematodes, also called flukes, cause various clinical infections in humans. (medscape.com)
  • All the flukes that cause infections in humans belong to the group of digenetic trematodes. (medscape.com)
  • The life cycle of trematodes is completed in 2 different classes of hosts: definitive (ie, humans, domestic animals, wild animals) and intermediate (ie, freshwater snails). (medscape.com)
  • In aquaculture systems, the main risk factors for FZT infection and transmission include contamination of pond environments with FZT eggs from infected hosts, i.e., humans, cats, dogs, pigs, and fish-eating birds. (cdc.gov)
  • An estimated 200 million people in the tropical belts of the world may have schistosomal infection. (medscape.com)
  • This makes Schistosoma infection the second most prevalent tropical infectious disease in areas such as sub-Saharan Africa after malaria. (medscape.com)
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of interventions for reducing prevalence and intensity of fish-borne zoonotic trematode infections in juvenile fish, we compared transmission rates at nurseries in the Red River Delta, northern Vietnam. (cdc.gov)
  • Foodborne zoonotic trematode (FZT) infections are common neglected tropical diseases in Southeast Asia. (bvsalud.org)
  • 1985). Parafossarulus anomalospiralis is the first intermediate host for: trematode Clonorchis sinensis IUCN (2015). (wikipedia.org)
  • The trematode Clonorchis sinensis (Chinese or oriental liver fluke) is an important foodborne pathogen and cause of liver disease in Asia. (cdc.gov)
  • The snail host of Clonorchis sinensis in Korea is referred to as Parafossarulus manchouricus, but it has been recorded also as Bulimus striatulus japonicus in literature published up to late 1950. (nih.gov)
  • Figure A: Shells of Parafossarulus manchouricus , the most common snail host of C. sinensis in endemic areas in southeast Asia. (cdc.gov)
  • 18 million persons were infected with fish-borne zoonotic trematodes (FZTs) in 2002 ( 1 , 2 ), and the World Health Organization recently added FZT infections to its list of emerging infectious diseases. (cdc.gov)
  • This Special Issue comprises 17 articles that include the more significant waterborne and foodborne parasites of zoonotic importance due to their relevance, with all groups of parasites (protist, cestodes, trematodes, and nematodes) being represented. (bvsalud.org)
  • MacLean JD, Arthur JR, Ward BJ, Gyorkos TW, Curtis MA, Kokoskin E. Common-source outbreak of acute infection due to the North American liver fluke Metorchis conjunctus. (medscape.com)
  • this is due to a variety of reasons, including the difficulty of their identification in environmental matrices and because many have a prolonged period between infection and symptoms, making it difficult to implicate infection vehicles. (bvsalud.org)
  • With infections of longer duration, the symptoms can be more severe, and hepatomegaly and malnutrition may be present. (cdc.gov)
  • The study is the first stage in developing a practical and sustainable program for prevention of FZT infections in aquaculture. (cdc.gov)
  • To evaluate progress toward prevention of foodborne illnesses in the United States, the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) of CDC's Emerging Infections Program monitors the incidence of laboratory-diagnosed infections caused by eight pathogens transmitted commonly through food reported by 10 U.S. sites. (bvsalud.org)
  • Chemotherapy objectives in trematode infections are to cure the disease, to reduce morbidity, and to prevent transmission of parasitic infection in endemic areas. (medscape.com)
  • To reduce the incidence of these infections concerted efforts are needed, from farm to processing plant to restaurants and homes. (bvsalud.org)
