Following the first report of Opisthorchis viverrini infection in a domestic duck in Phu My District of Binh Dinh Province, Central Vietnam, many other cases were observed in the province. We determined the infection rate and intensity of O. viverrini infection in ducks in 4 districts of the province. A total of 178 ducks were randomly selected from 34 farms for examination of flukes in the liver and gall bladder. An infection rate of 34.3% (range 20.7-40.4% among districts) was found; the intensity of infection was 13.8 worms per infected duck (range 1-100). These findings show the role of ducks as a host for O. viverrini, duck genotype, which is sympatric with the human O. viverrini genotype in this province. It also stresses the need for investigations on the zoonotic potential and the life cycle of this parasite.
在越南中部平定省富美县的一只家鸭身上首次报告感染麝猫后睾吸虫之后,该省又观察到许多其他病例。我们确定了该省4个地区鸭群中麝猫后睾吸虫的感染率和感染强度。从34个养殖场中随机挑选了178只鸭子,检查其肝脏和胆囊中的吸虫。发现感染率为34.3%(各地区范围为20.7%-40.4%);每只受感染鸭子的感染强度为13.8条虫(范围为1-100条)。这些发现表明鸭子作为麝猫后睾吸虫宿主的作用,鸭子基因型与该省人类麝猫后睾吸虫基因型同域分布。这也强调了对这种寄生虫的人畜共患病潜力和生命周期进行调查的必要性。
