Risk factors associated with porcine cysticercosis in selected districts of Eastern and Southern provinces of Zambia

To determine the risk factors associated with Taenia solium transmission in humans and pigs in the rural areas of Eastern and Southern provinces of Zambia, a questionnaire was administered in 788 households from 155 villages. Pigs were examined from 800 households. Tongue examination and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Ag-ELISA) for the detection of circulating antigens of T. solium cysticerci were used to measure infection in pigs. A snowballing technique was utilised to select households with pigs. Prevalence of households with pigs infected with T. solium on tongue examination by district ranged from 12.7% to 32.1% with Ag-ELISA having a range of 30.0-51.7%. Of the total number of households visited, 18.8% and 37.6% had at least one pig positive for porcine cysticercosis on tongue examination and Ag-ELISA, respectively. Risk factors associated with T. solium infection were lack of pork inspection at slaughter (96.7%), consumption of pork with cysts (20.1%), selling of pork infected with T. solium cysticerci (18.3%), free-range husbandry system (83.2%) and absence of latrines (58.0). Free-range husbandry system (OR=1.68; 95% CI=1.36-2.07) was a significant risk factor for porcine cysticercosis in the surveyed areas. The result that pigs were mostly kept on free-range and semi-intensive husbandry systems may have permitted them to have access to eating human faeces that could be contaminated with tapeworm eggs. This study has shown that T. solium infection poses a high public health risk in the study areas and urban areas as well. We recommend that a human survey be conducted to verify the human exposure to taeniasis and/or cysticercosis in Zambia.

Environmental risk factors for equine West Nile virus disease cases in Texas

West Nile Virus (WNV) was first detected in the Texas equine population during June 2002. Infection has since spread rapidly across the state and become endemic in the equine population. Environmental risk factors associated with equine WNV attack rates in Texas counties during the period 2002 to 2004 were investigated. Equine WNV attack rates were smoothed using an empirical Bayesian model, because of the variability among county equine populations (range 46−9,517). Risk factors investigated included hydrological features (lakes, rivers, swamps, canals and river basins), land cover (tree, mosaic, shrub, herbaceous, cultivated and artificial), elevation, climate (rainfall and temperature), and reports of WNV-positive mosquito and wild bird samples. Estimated county equine WNV attack rate was best described by the number of lakes, presence of broadleaf deciduous forest, presence of cultivated areas, location within the Brazos River watershed, WNV-positive mosquito status and average temperature. An understanding of environmental factors that increase equine WNV disease risk can be used to design and target disease control programs.     

Risk factors for an acute expression of Epizootic Rabbit Enteropathy syndrome in rabbits after weaning in French kindling-to-finish farms

Epizootic Rabbit Enteropathy (ERE) is a severe clinical syndrome of rabbits causing high economic losses for farmers. ERE first appeared in France in 1996. A retrospective case–control survey was carried out to identify the risk factors of acute expression of ERE, after weaning, in 96 kindling-to-finish rabbit farms in western France during 2001 and 2002. Farm status was defined according to the expression of clinical signs of ERE and mortality rates in the last five broiler rabbit batches. Comparisons of structural characteristics, rearing conditions and herd management showed that the risk factors for acute ERE expression were late weaning (rabbit age at weaning ≥ 35 days, RR = 4.44, 95% CI [1.36–21.71]), transfer of young rabbits at weaning (young rabbit transfer or combined practice RR = 2.83, 95% CI [1.16–9.33]), and high volume of the fattening room (air volume/rabbit weight in fattening room at weaning ≥ 0.14m³/kg, RR = 2.98, 95% CI [1.29–8.42]) and a high mortality rate in young rabbits before weaning (i.e. rate ≥ 10.5%; RR = 2.18, 95% CI [1.20–3.53]).

犬髋关节发育异常是一种常发于4～10月龄大型品种幼犬,由遗传和其它因素所致的复合性进行性疾病。典型临床特征为疼痛,跛行,主要病理变化为髋臼变浅,股骨头变形,髋关节不同程度的松弛,不完全脱位或全脱位,甚至发展为严重的退行性关节炎。从首次发现本病至今,对本病的遗传特点、诊断方法标准和各种治疗手段都有大量的研究。作者综述了犬髋关节发育异常的发病因素,常用的诊断和防控措施,从而为全面认识本病,并进行深入研究提供参考。     

青藏高原东部高寒沼泽湿地动态变化及其驱动因素研究

20世纪中后期以来,在全球气候变化和人类活动的影响下,青藏高原湿地生态系统变的极其敏感和脆弱。运用遥感与地理信息系统技术,以Landsat TM/ETM+/OLI遥感影像为主要数据源,解译了青藏高原东部甘南和川西北地区1991、2000、2010和2016年4个时期的沼泽湿地;利用转移矩阵和湿地动态度,分析了沼泽湿地的空间变化、转移方向和变化速率;采用景观指数,分析了沼泽湿地景观格局变化;结合气象数据和相关统计资料并利用灰色关联度法,分析了沼泽湿地变化的驱动因素。结果表明: 1)研究区沼泽湿地主要分布在东北部,1991-2016年4个时期的面积分别为6739.89、6231.39、5849.59和5649.35 km²,处于持续减少的状态,26年间面积共减少了1090.54 km²。2)26年来,研究区沼泽湿地的动态度从-7.54%减小至-3.42%,面积变化速率持续减慢,高寒草地是沼泽湿地转出和转入的主要类型。3)沼泽湿地的斑块数量先增加后减少,斑块密度持续增大,反映了沼泽湿地的破碎程度增高;最大斑块指数先降低后小幅升高,斑块形状指数先升高后小幅下降,反映了沼泽湿地的优势度降低,景观形状趋于复杂化;分离度指数先增大后小幅减小,聚集度持续降低,反映了沼泽湿地从单独紧凑的状态趋向离散化发展。4)人为因素是影响青藏高原东部沼泽湿地面积变化的首要原因,其次受到气候因素的影响,各因子影响力大小依次是牧业生产总值>国民生产总值(GDP)>人口数量>温度>蒸发量。沼泽湿地面积与各因子呈明显的负相关关系,面积随牧业生产总值、GDP、人口数量、温度和蒸发量的增加而减小。
