Objective: To identify 18S ribosomal RNA partial sequences from three different points, namely downstream, midstream and upstream of two water rivers in Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia Methods: In this study, a total of six water samples were collected from three different points of both Kuantan River and Balok River. Each water sample was processed and concentrated using continuous flow centrifuge (CFC) machine and purified using immunomagnetic separation (IMS) technique. Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction (nPCR) was applied to detect 18S ribosomal RNA sequence in those samples after DNA extraction. Genotyping and phylogenetic analysis were performed on the basis of 18S rDNA gene sequence of Cryptosporidium. Results: A total of five samples from six different points of both Kuantan River and Balok River were contaminated with Cryptosporidium. Only river water sample from the upstream point of Kuantan River was negative for Cryptosporidium. In this study, the sequencing results of five samples from both Kuantan River and Balok River belonged to Cryptosporidium parvum (C. parvum). Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of C. parvum genotyping in both Kuantan River and Balok River by using molecular approach nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) on 18S ribosomal RNA gene.

Taenia solium (T. solium) taeniasis/cysticercosis is an important zoonosis of considerable public health concern that mainly affects poor communities, especially in countries of Africa, Asia and South America[1]. Man, the only known natural host of adult T. solium in which it causes human taeniasis, acquires the infection by the ingestion of uncooked or undercooked pork containing viable cysticercus of T. solium. Pigs being the main intermediate host in which the cysticerci of T. solium develop become infected by eating viable T. solium eggs or whole gravid proglottids voided in human faeces into the environment by infected individuals[2]. Absence or improper meat inspection as well as clandestine slaughter and sale of pig carcases contribute significantly to the maintenance and transmission of the infection in man[1]. Porcine cysticercosis is usually prevalent in under-developed or developing countries with limited economic resources, extensive (free range) or poor pig husbandry systems[3-5]. Although the environmental and pig management conditions in Nigeria (especially where open-air defecation is rampant) appear favourable for the transmission of taeniasis/cysticercosis complex, records of the prevalence appear few and far-between. For instance, in this study area, the only published study on porcine cysticercosis and human taeniasis was carried out two decades ago[4]. Consequently, it has become necessary to re-evaluate the status of the infection in slaughter pigs due to the great economic and public health implication of the parasite and the increasing pig production and pork consumption in the area.
