A serological survey of pig cysticercosis was conducted in a hill-tribe village at Thai-Myanmar border, Tak province of Thailand in 2012. Sixteen backyard pigs were examined for pig cysticercosis and gastrointestinal helminth infection. In addition to cysticerci of Taenia solium and Taenia hydatigena found outside the gut, nine other helminth species were found in guts: Echinostoma malayanum, Pseudanoplocephala crawfordi, Ascarops dentata, Physocephalus sexalatus, Gnathostoma doloresi, Ascaris suum, Globocephalus sp., Oesophagostomum dentatum and Bourgelatia diducta. The study presents a report for the first time of adult tapeworm, P. crawfordi infection in pigs from Thailand. For medical importance, E. malayanum, P. crawfordi, G. doloresi and A. suum have been confirmed as potentially zoonotic helminths and pigs may act as one of the reservoir hosts for human helminthiases. Pigs of both gender and all ages appeared to be exposed to the parasites equally and did not show any significant difference to these helminth species in richness and total intensity. |
