  • Praziquantel Treatment in Trematode and Cestode Infections: An Update
    Infection and Chemotherapy, 2013
    Co-Authors: Jong-yil Chai
    Abstract:

    Status and emerging issues in the use of praziquantel for treatment of human trematode and cestode infections are briefly reviewed. Since praziquantel was first introduced as a broadspectrum anthelmintic in 1975, innumerable articles describing its successful use in the treatment of the majority of human-infecting trematodes and cestodes have been published. The target trematode and cestode diseases include schistosomiasis, clonorchiasis and opisthorchiasis, paragonimiasis, heterophyidiasis, echinostomiasis, Fasciolopsiasis, neodiplostomiasis, gymnophalloidiasis, taeniases, diphyllobothriasis, hymenolepiasis, and cysticercosis. However, Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica infections are refractory to praziquantel, for which triclabendazole, an alternative drug, is necessary. In addition, larval cestode infections, particularly hydatid disease and sparganosis, are not successfully treated by praziquantel. The precise mechanism of action of praziquantel is still poorly understood. There are also emerging problems with praziquantel treatment, which include the appearance of drug resistance in the treatment of Schistosoma mansoni and possibly Schistosoma japonicum, along with allergic or hypersensitivity reactions against praziquantel treatment. To cope with and overcome these problems, combined use of drugs, i.e., praziquantel and other newly introduced compounds such as triclabendazole, artemisinins, and tribendimidine, is being tried.

    Abstract:

    Abstract. Fasciolopsiasis is a trematode worm disease of Fasciolopsis buski’s species, which is only endemic in some areas in Hulu Sungai Utara, South Kalimantan. Buski life cycle requires an intermediate host such as snails and plants that live in the aquatic environment. Fasciolopsiasis endemic areas in HSU is a marshy area, however not all regions that have the same characteristics or directly adjacent to an endemic area Fasciolopsiasis. This research is a descriptive, aims to describe the aquatic environment through the parameters of temperature, acidity (pH), salinity, the value of Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), which supports buski’s habitation in endemic areas. Cross-sectional study design, and implemented in the village of Kalumpang Dalam, Sungai Papuyu, and Telaga Mas, in the month of June to September 2012. The results showed swamp water environment in the research site with a surface water temperature of 25oC, pH 6, salinity 0‰, DO value between 3,49-88,7 mg O2/L, BOD value between 0,05-3,64 mg O2/L, and COD values between 3,016- 39,51 mg O2/L, which indicate the presence of marshy water pollution and still found life freshwater snails as an intermediate host of F.buski : Lymnaea and Indoplanorbis Keywords : Fasciolopsis buski, Fasciolopsiasis, swamp water, intermediate host, HSU Abstrak. Fasciolopsiasis adalah penyakit cacing trematoda dari spesies Fasciolopsis buski, yang hanya endemis di sebagian wilayah di Kabupaten Hulu Sungai Utara Provinsi Kalimantan Selatan.

  • Fascioliasis and Fasciolopsiasis: Current knowledge and future trends.
    Research in veterinary science, 2020
    Co-Authors: Mar Siles-lucas, David Becerro-recio, Judit Serrat, Javier González-miguel
    Abstract:

    Abstract Food-borne zoonotic trematodiases are classified as neglected diseases by the World Health Organization. Among them, fascioliasis is caused worldwide by Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica, and represent a huge problem in livestock production and human health in endemic areas. Fasciolopsis buski, restricted to specific regions of Asia, causes Fasciolopsiasis. The incidence of these trematodiases is underestimated due to under-reporting and to the lack of sensitive and widely accepted tool for their diagnosis. This, together with a rising trend in reporting of drug resistance and the need for an effective vaccine against these parasites, pose a challenge in the effective control of these diseases. Here, the latest reports on fascioliasis outbreaks between 2000 and 2020 and the most recent advances in their epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and control are revised. Finally, future needs in the field of fascioliasis and Fasciolopsiasis are presented, which could be addressed based on current knowledge and by means of new emerging technologies.

  • Fasciolopsiasis: is it a controllable food-borne disease?
    Parasitology Research, 2001
    Co-Authors: Thaddeus K. Graczyk, Robert H. Gilman, Bernard Fried
    Abstract:

    Fasciolopsiasis, endemic to the Orient and Southeast Asia, is a snail-transmitted, intestinal, food-borne parasitic zoonosis caused by a trematode, Fasciolopsis buski , which also infects farm pigs. Fasciolopsiasis remains a public health problem despite changes in eating habits, alterations in social and agricultural practices, health education, industrialization, and environmental alterations. The disease occurs focally and is most prevalent in school-age children. In foci of parasite transmission, the prevalence of infection in children ranges from 57% in mainland China to 25% in Taiwan and from 50% in Bangladesh and 60% in India to 10% in Thailand. Control programs implemented for food-borne zoonoses are not fully successful for Fasciolopsiasis because of century-old traditions of eating raw aquatic plants and using untreated water. Fasciolopsiasis is aggravated by social and economic factors such as poverty, malnutrition, an explosively growing free-food market, a lack of sufficient food inspection and sanitation, other helminthiases, and declining economic conditions.
