This study examined the spatial and potential distribution of STHs in Nigeria. Materials and Methods: Secondary data were assessed from 98 journals and the prevalence of Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura and hookworms were extracted from them. The spatial distribution of the parasites was performed using DIVA-GIS software. The climatic variables (temperature and precipitation) and elevation variable (altitude) were used in the modeling of the parasites using Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) modeling tool. Results: The average prevalence of A. lumbricoides, Hookworms and T. trichiura in Nigeria is 25.17%, 16.86% and 9.74% respectively. Delta State (62.08%) had the highest infection of A. lumbricoides followed by Oyo (55.50%) and Kano (44.40%) while 14 states had prevalence of below 20.0%. Akwa Ibom and Kano States had the highest average prevalence of 55.80% for hookworm infections. Delta, Oyo and Benue States had prevalence of 38.08%, 35.80%, and 35.40% respectively while 22 states had prevalence of hookworm below 20.0%. T. trichiura had the least average prevalence among the three STHs. Akwa Ibom State had the highest prevalence for this parasite with 40.40% followed by Lagos, Delta and Kwara States with prevalence values of 24.85%, 24.05% and 23.37% respectively. Other states in the Federation had prevalence values of less than 12% with Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja and Borno States having the least prevalence of 0.80 and 0.90% respectively. The potential distribution that reveals than southern Nigeria has been at high risk of infections. Precipitations of the wettest month, altitude, precipitation of the warmest quarter are the major environmental variables that affect the distribution of STH. Conclusion: Nigeria is characterized by varying prevalence of STHs. All states in Nigeria are endemic for STHs. Southern Nigeria was observed to have higher prevalence of STHs due How to cite this paper: Yaro, C.A., Kogi, E. and Luka, S.A.

{"title":"Detection of Capillaria obsignata of Pigeons (Columba livia domestica) from Kano State, Nigeria","authors":"M. Rabiu, S. Kawe, Ag. Shehu, A. Haruna","doi":"10.3923/JP.2017.45.49","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3923/JP.2017.45.49","url":null,"abstract":"Background and Objective: Capillaria species (hairworm), a parasitic nematode is well known to cause severe illness in pigeons thereby limiting their productive performances. A number of studies have been conducted on nematodes of domestic pigeons in some parts of Nigeria. However, information on the capillariasis of pigeons in Kano state is scanty. This study was therefore conducted to investigate the prevalence of Capillaria species among locally domesticated pigeons (Columba livia domestica) in Kano State, Nigeria. Methodology: Intestinal contents from 144 pigeons were examined for the period of six months; dry (February-April) and wet (June-August) seasons in 2007. Pigeons were grouped according to squabs (chicks) (0-4 weeks), squeakers (Juveniles) (5-8 weeks) and Youngsters (Adults) (9 weeks onwards). Capillaria nematodes were retrieved, counted and stained and mounted in balsam. Differences in the prevalence of infection between the pigeons examined based on their sexes and seasons were analyzed statistically using the students’ t-test. Results: Prevalence of 11 (7.63%) was revealed for Capillariid nematodes and egg. Infection rate was higher in males 7 (9.72%) than females 4 (5.55%) pigeons. There were no significant sex related differences seen in the prevalence of C. obsignata (p<0.05). Among the pigeons examined only the youngsters were found to be infected. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the prevalence of Capillaria obsignata in domestic pigeons in Kano State. This has an implication on the sustainable pigeon production and adequate supply of human protein requirement will therefore be ensured.","PeriodicalId":364497,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Parasitology","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116962321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
