Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the presence of Entamoeba histolytica in water sources of Niğde province in Turkey, between June and November 2021.

A total of 90 water samples were taken from 15 different water sources (drinking water, well water, spring water, wastewater and dam water) every month and the presence of E. histolytica antigens in the samples was examined by ELISA.

The positivity for E. histolytica was determined in 7 (7.7%) of 90 samples. While no antigens were found in any of the samples in June and September, E. histolytica was positive for three samples (20%) in July, one sample (6.6%) in August and October and two samples in November (13.3%). One of 24 dam samples (4.1%), 1 of 12 wastewater samples (8.3%), 1 of 12 well samples (8.3%), and 4 of 24 fountain samples (16.6%) that examined by ELISA were found positive. On the other hand, none of the examined 18 spring samples were positive. In addition, 4 (8.8%) of 45 samples that examined in summer and 3 (6.6%) of 45 samples that examined in autumn were detected positive by using ELISA. Entamoeba histolytica positivity in samples was statistically insignificant in terms of months, water resources and seasons (P > 0.05).

As a result, the presence of E. histolytica, which is an important public health problem in water sources, was determined for the first time in Niğde province of Türkiye with this study.

土耳其尼代省不同水源中的组织溶解恩塔米巴虫

目的：本研究旨在确定 2021 年 6 月至 11 月期间土耳其尼代省水源中是否存在组织溶解恩塔米巴虫：方法：每月从 15 个不同的水源（饮用水、井水、泉水、废水和大坝水）中采集共 90 份水样，采用 ELISA 方法检测水样中是否存在组织溶解埃希氏菌抗原：结果：在 90 份样本中，有 7 份（7.7%）样本的组织溶解埃希氏菌抗原呈阳性。6 月和 9 月的所有样本中均未发现抗原，但 7 月有 3 个样本（20%）、8 月和 10 月有 1 个样本（6.6%）、11 月有 2 个样本（13.3%）对组织溶解性大肠杆菌呈阳性。在 24 个水坝样本中，有 1 个样本（4.1%）、12 个废水样本中的 1 个样本（8.3%）、12 个水井样本中的 1 个样本（8.3%），以及 24 个喷泉样本中的 4 个样本（16.6%）经 ELISA 检测呈阳性。另一方面，在检测的 18 个泉水样本中，没有一个呈阳性。此外，在夏季检测的 45 个样本中，有 4 个样本（8.8%）呈阳性；在秋季检测的 45 个样本中，有 3 个样本（6.6%）呈阳性。样本中的组织溶解恩塔米巴虫阳性率与月份、水资源和季节有关，在统计学上不显著（P > 0.05）：因此，本研究首次在土耳其尼代省确定了水源中存在的重要公共卫生问题--组织溶解埃希氏菌。

期刊介绍： Acta Parasitologica is an international journal covering the latest advances in the subject. Acta Parasitologica publishes original papers on all aspects of parasitology and host-parasite relationships, including the latest discoveries in biochemical and molecular biology of parasites, their physiology, morphology, taxonomy and ecology, as well as original research papers on immunology, pathology, and epidemiology of parasitic diseases in the context of medical, veterinary and biological sciences. The journal also publishes short research notes, invited review articles, book reviews. The journal was founded in 1953 as "Acta Parasitologica Polonica" by the Polish Parasitological Society and since 1954 has been published by W. Stefanski Institute of Parasitology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. Since 1992 in has appeared as Acta Parasitologica in four issues per year.
