Abstract
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) largely impact marginalised communities living in tropical and subtropical regions. Mass drug administration is the leading intervention method for five NTDs; however, it is known that there is lack of access to treatment for some populations and demographic groups. It is also likely that those individuals without access to treatment are excluded from surveillance. It is important to consider the impacts of this on the overall success, and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of intervention programmes. We use a detailed individual-based model of the infection dynamics of lymphatic filariasis to investigate the impact of excluded, untreated, and therefore unobserved groups on the true versus observed infection dynamics and subsequent intervention success. We simulate surveillance in four groups-the whole population eligible to receive treatment, the whole eligible population with access to treatment, the TAS focus of six- and seven-year-olds, and finally in >20-year-olds. We show that the surveillance group under observation has a significant impact on perceived dynamics. Exclusion to treatment and surveillance negatively impacts the probability of reaching public health goals, though in populations that do reach these goals there are no signals to indicate excluded groups. Increasingly restricted surveillance groups over-estimate the efficacy of MDA. The presence of non-treated groups cannot be inferred when surveillance is only occurring in the group receiving treatment.

Treatment of pregnant mice with ABZ had no effect on the immune response of their offspring infected with Trichinella spiralis. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 121:110568. [PMID: 37390563 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/02/2023]
Abstract
Trichinellosis is a food-borne parasitic disease with a worldwide distribution that not only endangers human health but also leads to economic loss. Infection of pregnant animals with Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis) may lead to abortion and other adverse consequences, so it is necessary to treat the infection during pregnancy. Albendazole (ABZ) is an effective therapeutic drug for adult T. spiralis worms. The safety of this drug during pregnancy, especially whether it has any effect on offspring, should be fully evaluated. A change in the immune response to T. spiralis in the offspring of pregnant mice treated with ABZ may lead to a difference in susceptibility to T. spiralis compared to that of the offspring of normal mice. However, the safety of ABZ treatment in pregnant mice and the effects on the immune response and susceptibility of their offspring to T. spiralis are poorly understood. Therefore, we assessed whether maternal ABZ treatment during pregnancy affects the immune response or susceptibility to T. spiralis in infected offspring. In this study, mice were infected with T. spiralis at 10 days of pregnancy and treated with ABZ at 3 days post infection (dpi), and the specific immune response in the pregnant mice and the survival rate and worm burden of their 6-week-old offspring after T. spiralis infection were examined. The results showed that the antiparasitic immune response in pregnant mice was activated by T. spiralis infection. Treatment of pregnant mice with ABZ increased the percentage of CD4 + T cells. The percentages of Th2 and Treg cells in the PP, MLN and spleen of pregnant mice in the infection group were significantly increased compared with those of normal mice. ABZ treatment during pregnancy promoted the Th2 and Treg immune responses in pregnant mice infected with T. spiralis. The transcriptional levels of the Th2 and Treg cytokines IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and TGF-β in the small intestine, MLN and spleen of pregnant mice in the treatment group were significantly higher than those of pregnant mice in the T. spiralis infection only group. The results indicated that ABZ treatment did not cause abortion in pregnant mice or affect the survival rate of their offspring. Furthermore, treatment of pregnant mice with ABZ had no significant effect on the above immune responses in their T. spiralis-infected offspring compared to those of T. spiralis-infected offspring of mice in the normal group. The results also indicated that treatment of pregnant mice infected with T. spiralis with ABZ shifted the immune response to a Th2- and Treg-skewed immune response and that this drug had no effects on the offspring survival rate, immune response or worm burden after T. spiralis infection. This study further indicated that ABZ administration to treat T. spiralis infection in pregnant mice is safe for the select immune response and susceptibility of their offspring.

Food Addit Contam Part A Chem Anal Control Expo Risk Assess 2022; 39:666-677. [PMID: 35394409 DOI: 10.1080/19440049.2022.2032380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Praziquantel (PZQ) is a pyrazino-isoquinoline compound with broad spectrum of activity against parasitic trematodes and cestodes, and a key veterinary drug in the parasitic disease control field. However, PZQ residues caused by non-conforming or excessive use in food-producing animals may pose a serious threat to human health. Herein, a simple, sensitive and reproducible LC-MS/MS method was developed for the simultaneous determination of praziquantel and trans- and cis-4-hydroxypraziquantel in black goat tissues to guide the reasonable use of PZQ. The mean recoveries for three target analytes were 71.2 ∼ 117.6%, and the limits of quantification were 1.0 μg/kg. Twenty-five healthy black goats were administered a single dose of praziquantel tablets at a dose of 35 mg/kg of body weight for residue elimination study, The results revealed that praziquantel and 4-hydroxypraziquantel were rapidly depleted in goat tissues and the elimination half-lives did not exceed 1 day in all tissues except for muscle and lung. It provides guidance for the establishment of maximum residue limit of praziquantel in goat.
