Transmission of pathogenic protozoa and helminths by water is a serious public health problem. In this study, we analyzed the presence of these organisms in the Beberibe River in Pernambuco, Brazil.
Parasite analysis was performed using the Hoffman, Pons, & Janer method followed by centrifugation and preparation of slides by staining with acetic acid and Lugol's solution. Protozoan oocysts were isolated by the modified Ziehl Neelsen method.
Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia spp. and other parasites were found in the Beberibe River.
Sanitation companies must assess pathogenic intestinal parasites in water basins providing public water and subsequently develop improved treatment systems for removal of such parasites.
通过水传播致病性原生动物和蠕虫是一个严重的公共卫生问题。在本研究中,我们分析了巴西伯南布哥州贝贝里贝河中这些生物的存在情况。
采用霍夫曼、庞斯和贾内尔方法进行寄生虫分析,随后进行离心,并通过用乙酸和卢戈氏溶液染色制备玻片。原生动物卵囊通过改良的齐尔-尼尔森方法分离。
在贝贝里贝河中发现了隐孢子虫属、贾第虫属和其他寄生虫。
卫生公司必须评估提供公共用水的流域中的致病性肠道寄生虫,并随后开发改进的处理系统以去除此类寄生虫。
