Investigation on Trichinellosis of pigs in Saranda District

Trichinellosis caused by the Nematode Trichinella is a zoonotic disease which occurs worldwide and affects the broad range of different species including mammals, birds, and amphibians. Trichinella spiralis is found in production animals (pigs, horses) in temperate climate zones and can also be found in animals in close contact with these production animals (e.g. dogs, cats, rats). The PrioCHECK® Trichinella Ab is a reliable and fast diagnostic test for detection of antibodies against Trichinella in porcine serum and meat juice samples and can be used for monitoring and surveillance purposes.Keywords: Trichinella, pig, diagnosis, ELISA, Saranda

Trichinelosis in Animals

Trichinellosis (also trichinosis) in animals is caused by nematodes (roundworms) of the family Trichinellidae Ward, 1970. Family characteristics. Parasites with small bud right body. They have not sexual pterygas. The anus is opened at the terminal part of the body. The cloaks are opened at the ¼ frontal part of the body. The adult females are larva-productive. They are parasites of the intestinal system. Trichinella spiralis (Trichina spiral) Owen, 1833. Eight species of Trichinella are now recognized, based on host (Kapel, C M O 2000; Krivokapich, S J; Pozio E and D S Zarlenga, 2005; Pozio E et al, 1992), but the most important for animals domestic are: T. spiralis found as parasitic diseases in humans, pigs, rodents, and many carnivorous animals, of Europe, Asia, North America, with specific pathologies in pigs. T. native parasite of wild carnivorous of Euro – Asiatic areas northern of parallel 40°. It is specific diseases of carnivorous and omnivorous animals. T.nelsoni found as a parasite of wilds carnivorous animals of Asiatic areas southern of parallel 40°. T. pseudospiralis is parasite of cats, rodents, and pigs. It is recognized from other species because of the adult forms have smaller dimensions and forms noncapsulated cists. T. spiralis is the cause of Trichinellosis, one of most important zoonosis all over the world. It is found worldwide in many carnivorous and omnivorous animals, insectivorous animals, rodents, wilds animals and humans (Pozio E and G Marucci 2003). It was found at 103 mammals. Occasionally may be found as a parasite of horses. Developmental traits of T. spiralis is that infested hosts initially are final hosts because of they host adults forms at their intestine, but later on, they are presented as an intermediate host, because of they host larval forms at their muscles. Today’s identification of samples to the species level and genotyping are based primarily upon molecular means (Pozio, E., and G. Marucci. 2003).Keywords: trichinosis, Trichinella larvae, tropism, trichinelloscopic examination, trypsine techniques, xenodiagnostic experiments, etc

A NEGLECTED ZOONOSIS IN ALBANIA: WHY ECHINOCOCCOSIS IS BECOMING A SURGEON’S EXCLUSIVITY?

Echinococcosis is an endemic zoonosis in the Mediterranean area, with Albania interested actually to a level that is becoming a public health concern. Authors describe preliminary data from the only tertiary (university) medical facility of Albania, positioned in the capital of the country (Tirana), with 333 new cases diagnosed and treated during the period 2005 – 2011. Out of all these 333 new cases an impressive majority of 91% had a surgical treatment right from the first admission, rendering the disease almost a surgical exclusivity. Even more, 80% of all patients from the study group were hospitalized straightforwardly in surgical wards, with options of surgical intervention’s percentages outrunning figures from other sources and authors of the same geographical area. Such a situation, together with a very important level of patients’ origin from highly urbanized areas such as those of the capital, suggest the necessity of well-organized interventions, among which might be the mandatory notification of all human cases with Echinococcus infection
