Abstract

Background: Fascioliasis is a zoonotic disease caused by the liver parasites, Fasciola hepatica, and F. gigantica. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of fascioliasis in Zahedan and the surrounding towns (i.e., Zabol, Chabahar, Iranshahr, etc.) in the Southeast of Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2017. Based on statistical estimations, 251 human serum samples were collected randomly in Zahedan and surrounding towns (Zabol, Chabahar, Iranshahr, and others), then the samples were analyzed using indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test. A questionnaire was obtained from each individual. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test in SPSS, version 20. Results: Of the 251 samples, the anti-fasciola antibody was detected in 6 (2.40%) samples. There was a significant relationship between the use of local freshwater vegetables and seropositivity to fasciolosis. Conclusions: This study showed that the prevalence of human fascioliasis was higher among women (2.70%) compared to men (0.0%), and raising health levels and health education can reduce the prevalence of human fascioliasis disease.

ELISA检测伊朗东南部锡斯坦和俾路支斯坦省人片形吸虫病血清阳性率

背景:片形吸虫病是一种由肝脏寄生虫、肝片形吸虫病和巨形吸虫病引起的人畜共患疾病。目的:本研究旨在了解伊朗东南部扎黑丹及周边城镇(即扎博勒、恰巴哈尔、伊朗沙尔等)片形吸虫病的血清患病率。方法:本横断面研究于2017年进行。在统计估计的基础上，在扎黑丹及周边城镇(扎博勒、恰巴哈尔、伊兰沙赫尔等)随机采集人血清样本251份，采用间接酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)对样本进行分析。从每个人那里获得了一份问卷。统计学分析采用SPSS 20版卡方检验。结果:251份样本中检出抗片形吸虫抗体6份(2.40%)。食用当地淡水蔬菜与片形虫病血清阳性有显著关系。结论:本研究显示，女性人片吸虫病患病率(2.70%)高于男性(0.0%)，提高健康水平和健康教育可降低人片吸虫病的患病率。
