Ascariasis is one of the most common parasitic diseases in both humans and pigs. It has been shown to cause growth deficits in both species and to impair cognitive development in children. Notwithstanding its substantial impact on pig economy and public health, diagnosis of ascariasis has mostly relied on the detection of eggs in stool and further development of novel, more sensitive methods has been limited or non-existent. Here, we discuss the currently available techniques for the diagnosis of ascariasis in pigs, their caveats, and the implications of a new serological detection technique for the evaluation of both pig and human ascariasis.
蛔虫病是人和猪中最常见的寄生虫病之一。研究表明，它会导致这两个物种生长发育迟缓，并损害儿童的认知发展。尽管蛔虫病对养猪业经济和公共卫生有重大影响，但蛔虫病的诊断大多依赖于粪便中虫卵的检测，而新型、更灵敏检测方法的进一步开发一直很有限或根本不存在。在此，我们讨论目前可用于诊断猪蛔虫病的技术、其存在的问题，以及一种新的血清学检测技术对评估猪和人蛔虫病的意义。
