Gastrointetinal parasites and Ectoparasites Biodiversity of Rattus Rattus Trapped friom Khan younis and Jabalia in, Gaza Strip, Palestine.
Full text linkThis study identified the zoonotic endo-parasites and ecto-parasites and their prevalence found in Rattus rattus. A total of 41 rats of house ( black rat and Norway ( brown rat were trapped from two regions of Gaza strip. After dissection, isolated protozoa, nematodes and cestodes were identified respectively according standard keys. The results showed that prevalence of intestinal parasites among rats was 24/41 ( 58.5% and males were infected more than females. A high prevalence of protozoa was in autumn compared to other seasons. The intestinal parasites were encountered: G. lamblia 6 ( 14.6% ; E. histolytica/dispar 7 ( 17.1% ; Iso-spora 4 ( 9.8% ; Canthocephala1 ( 2.4% ; Syphacia obvelata 6 ( 20% ; Heligmonoides josephi 3 ( 10% ; Strongyloides egg 1 ( 2.4% ; Hymenolepis diminuta 15 ( 36.6% . The insects were Xenopsylla cheopis 7 ( 17.1% ; Polyplax spinulosa 3 ( 7.3%
ظهور الكوكسيديا الاعورية في الدجاج اللاحم في قطاع غزة
No full textBackground: Coccidiosis is a health problem resulting in significant economic losses worldwide. The impacts of disease on animal production include, for example, lost revenues, costs of vaccination, prevention, eradication, decontamination and restocking.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the occurrence of caecal coccidiosis among broiler chiken in Gaza strip.
Subjects and methods: The study was conducted during September ( which has recorded the highest prevalence , October and November, 2009 in the Gaza strip governorates, Palestine. Randomly 390 broilers caeca were collected from poultry shops, 10 caeca from every poultry shop were sampled. Test tube flotation for caecal content and direct smear scraping of
the caeca lining was done to detect Eimeria tenella based on the dimensions of oocysts and schizonts respectively. In addition, postmortem was done to detect the clinical coccidiosis.
Results: The present study came up with the following findings: The prevalence of sub-clinical caecal coccidiosis was 54.4 %. Multi-variable associations were tested between each variable. Middle governorate represented the highest prevalence ( 80% . Clinical coccidiosis was only found in groups 1.3 to 1.5 and 1.6 to 1.9 kg with prevalence ( 9.3% and ( 6% ,
respectively.
Conclusions: The prevalence of the infection increased among the older broiler chicken. Absence of clinical signs of disease does not mean the farm is not infected; diagnosis is based on the presence of lesions at postmortem and the identification. With the aid of a microscope, using direct smear scraping is more sensitive and low cost and time. E. tenella in the present
study was found to cause clinical signs in broilers.المقدمة: يعتبر مرض الكوكسيديا أحد المشاكل الصحية في قطاع الدواجن ، التي تؤدي لخسارة اقتصادية على مستوي العالم، وتتمثل هذه الخسارة في ضياع الدخل، وتكلفة العلاج، والتحصين، والوقاية، ومكافحة التلوث، والعمل على تربية قطعان جديدة خالية من المرض.
الهدف: تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تحديد ظهور مرض الكوكسيديا الأعورية في الدجاج اللاحم في قطاع غزة.
الطرق والأدوات: أجريت هذه الدراسة خلال 3 أشهر من عام 2009 ، وهي سبتمبر وأكتوبر ونوفمبر في محافظات قطاع غزة- فلسطين- حيث تم اختيار 390 عينة عشوائية من أمعاء ( الأعور الدجاج اللاحم، وأخذت العينات من محلات بيع الدواجن في أسواق المحافظات، وهي عبارة عن 10 عينات من كل محل بيع للدواجن، حيث اعتبرت العينات ممثلة عن القطيع، لتكون العينات ممثلة" عن 39 قطيعاً.وبعد إجراء التشريح على أعور الدواجن، تم أخذ محتوياته، وفحصه
باختبار الطفو الأنبوبي؛ للكشف عن بيوض طفيل الإميريا تنيلا، المسبب لمرض الكوكسيديا الأعورية، كما تم عمل مسحة مخاطية عميقة من جدار الأعور باستخدام اختبار المسحة العميقة المباشرة؛ للكشف عن طور الشيزونت لهذا الطفيل، كما تم –كذلك- عمل الصفة التشريحية للأعور؛ للكشف عن الآفات المرضية للمرض التي تسبب الأعراض السريرية.
النتائج: أكدت هذه الدراسة وجود مرض الكوكسيديا الأعورية تحت السريري في الدجاج اللاحم في قطاع غزة- فلسطين بنسبة 54,4 % بناء على العديد من المتغيرات التي تم استخدامها خلال هذه الدراسة، وقد تم تقييم كل متغير على حدة. توصلت الدراسة ان الاميريا تسبب ضرر اكلينيكى يمكن مشاهدته من خلال الفحص التشريحى
Gastrointestinal Parasites of the Roucktail Rock Agama, Laudakia stellio from Gaza Strip, Palestine
Full text linkPalestine is located to the east of the Mediterranean Sea between 29 and 33 North latitude 35 and 39 longitude, the West
Bank and Gaza Strip are two regions in Palestine. Parasitological examination of the gastrointestinal tract of 67 roucktail
rock agamas ( Laudakia stellio from the Gaza Strip, Palestine recovered 2 species of nematodes, Parapharyngodon
bulbosus and Strongyluris calotis, 1 species of cestode Oochoristica tuberculata and 1 species of ciliated protozoan,
Nyctotherus hardwickii. Prevalence of P. bulbosus was ( 100 % , S. calotis ( 67 % , O. tuberculata ( 78 % and N. hardwickii
( 90 % . Mean intensity ± SD and ranges were P. bulbosus 40.5 ± 24.2, ( 1-115 , S. calotis 34.3 ± 21.6, ( 0-74 ; O.
tuberculata 1.5 ± 0.5, ( 0-2 . Nyctotherus hardwickii and O. tuberculata are reported for the first time from the Gaza Strip,
Palestine
Prevalence of intestinal parasites among the population of the Gaza Strip, Palestine
No full textIntestinal parasitic diseases in Gaza Strip are a significant health problem. The main aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of parasitic infection among patients in the five governorates of the Gaza Strip. A crosssectional parasitological survey was conducted on 600 patients. Stool specimens were examined microscopically for the presence of parasite eggs or larvae/cysts per wet amount by the saline iodine and formol-ether concentration method. Of 600 subjects examined, 245 (40.8%) were infected with one or more intestinal parasites. Entamoeba histolytica/dispar and Giardia lamblia were the most prevalent parasites amongst the population (28.8%), (9.5%). Female patients demonstrated a higher prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections (42.7%) than males (39.0%). However, this difference was not significant (p>0.05). According to occupation, the rate of infection was highest among farmers (56.0%), followed by employers (44.2%) with laborers showing the lowest rate (30.17%). These differences in occupational prevalence were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). The present study demonstrates that intestinal protozoan infections are still a public health problem in the Gaza strip, with Entamoeba and Giardia infections being most common. Therefore, it is necessary to develop effective prevention and control strategies, including health education and environmental sanitation improvement

Enterobiasis among Pre-School Children in Gaza Strip, Palestine.
No full textBackground: Enterobius is one of the common nematode causing health problem in developing countries. The aim of the present study was to estimates the prevalence of Enterobius vermicularis in Gaza Strip.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study which included 149 pre-school children who are residing in four Governorates in Gaza Strip; north Gaza, Gaza, mid zone and Khanyounis in Gaza Strip. Scotch tape preparation ( STP was used for the detection of E.vermicularis eggs.
Results: Children with employee father had high prevalence of E. vermicularis with a percentage of ( 47.3% while those with un-employee father had a percentage of ( 45.7% but there was no significant difference. The same results were found with working mother. Families with low family income had children with low rate of E. vermicularis ( 40.5% but families with high family income had children with high rate of E. vermicularis ( 52.8% . Children who are drinking water from filters had high rate of E. vermicularis than others who are drinking from other sources ( 65% with a significant difference ( p=0.003 .
Conclusion: The study concluded that enterobiasis constituted a high prevalence among pre-school children in Gaza strip ( 46.3% . These results may shed the light on an infectious disease in Gaza Strip and help health authorities to take serious measures for prevention and control, and educate peoples towards the biology of Enterobius. It is recommended that STP should be used to confirm the clinical diagnosis of physicians in case of anal itching
