Lan Z, Yu J, Zhang X, Zhang A, Deng R, Li B, Lv Q, Ma X, Gao J, Wang C. Prevalence and Risk Factors of Ovine and Caprine Fasciolosis in the Last 20 Years in China: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:ani13101687. [PMID: 37238117 DOI: 10.3390/ani13101687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2023] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Fasciolosis is a significant zoonotic and common parasitic disease for animals and humans, creating public health concerns worldwide. This study retrieved articles related to the occurrence of Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica in sheep and goats in China by searching five databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, and the VIP Chinese Journal Database. A total of 60 valid articles were captured. The pooled prevalence of ovine and caprine fasciolosis was 26.00%. It was also found to be higher in the subgroups of Northwest China and Shaanxi Province, as well as in areas with a high altitude, rainfall of ≥800 mm, and temperature ranging between 10 °C and 20 °C. Analysis of the type of season and sampling years showed significant (p < 0.05) difference. In other subgroups, sheep (34.74%), hosts aged over 2 years (32.26%), females (48.33%) and free-range animals (26.83%) showed a higher disease prevalence. These results indicated that ovine and caprine fasciolosis was widely distributed, especially in Northwest China. The sampling years and the type of season are risk factors for the prevalence of ovine and caprine fasciolosis. Therefore, strategies for ovine and caprine fasciolosis control should be developed based on these epidemic risk factors, which will reduce the prevalence of fasciolosis in China.

Pan M, Bai SY, Ji TK, Fan YM, Liu DD, Yang Y, Tao JP, Huang SY. Epidemiology of Fasciola spp. in the intermediate host in China: A potential risk for fasciolosis transmission. Acta Trop 2022; 230:106394. [PMID: 35278366 DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2022.106394] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2021] [Revised: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 03/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Fasciolosis is a zoonotic disease as 600 million animals have been infected, and 180 million people are at risk of the infection in the world. Snail as the intermediate host of Fasciola is an essential and important factor in the transmission of fasciolosis, while its potential risk for transmission has not been studied. In this study, 3561 snails collected from large-scale regions of China were examined by nest-PCR method. A total of 345 snails were positive for Fasciola spp., with an overall prevalence of 9.7%. Prevalence in central and southern China, characterized by a subtropical monsoon climate, was relatively low (8.0%), while a high infection rate (36.9%) was found on the plateau area (altitude > 500 m). In combination with previous findings, the study showed a highly positive correlation between snails and animal infection in central and eastern China, thus indicating that infected snails could be an indispensable risk factor for fasciolosis transmission. Epidemiological surveillance of snails will help assess the risk of fasciolosis in humans or ruminants, which promotes future prevention of this zoonotic disease.

Development and Comparison of Seminested PCR, qPCR, and LAMP for the Rapid Detection of Arthrinium phaeospermum, the Causal Agent of Bamboo Blight. FORESTS 2022.

Abstract
Bambusa pervariabilis × Dendrocalamopsis grandis blight is a newly discovered disease in bamboos that has caused substantial economic loss to the affected areas. With the purpose of carrying out rapid detection of Bambusa pervariabilis × Dendrocalamopsis grandis blight caused by Arthrinium phaeospermum during the incubation period, three sets of detection assays were established: seminested PCR, real-time quantitative PCR, and LAMP. The specificity, sensitivity, and effectiveness of these assays were also detected. The results showed that the three assays were able to specifically amplify the target bands from five strains of Arthriniumphaeospermum from different sources, but none of the other 18 strains were able to obtain the specific bands. The sensitivity of the established seminested PCR, LAMP, and real-time quantitative PCR assays were 100, 10, and 1 pg/μL, respectively. The presence of A. phaeospermum could be detected in the early stage of disease using the total DNA of infected hybrid bamboo tissue as a template. The three systems established in this study are of great significance for the early diagnosis and rapid detection of hybrid bamboo blight.

BMC Vet Res 2020; 16:473. [PMID: 33272251 PMCID: PMC7713344 DOI: 10.1186/s12917-020-02694-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2020] [Accepted: 11/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fasciola hepatica is an important zoonotic parasite that causes fasciolosis in a broad range of animals. No information is available about the prevalence of F. hepatica in Père David's deer (Elaphurus davidianus), an endangered species in the world. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of fasciolosis in Père David's deer in the Dafeng Elk National Natural Reserve, Jiangsu province, China. RESULTS In this study, 142 fecal samples from Père David's deer were analyzed for F. hepatica by microscopy and nest-PCR. Only one sample was positive for F. hepatica according to microscopy examination, while 18 of 142 (12.68, 95%CI: 2.841-22.45%) samples were positive for F. hepatica according to nest-PCR results. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report of prevalence of F. hepatica in Père David's deer. The prevalence data indicated that F. hepatica was also present in this endangered animal, which may cause a potential threat to this precious species.
