The Burden of Parasitic Zoonoses in Nepal: A Systematic Review

et al. 2014

BackgroundParasitic zoonoses (PZs) pose a significant but often neglected threat to public health, especially in developing countries. In order to obtain a better understanding of their health impact, summary measures of population health may be calculated, such as the Disability-Adjusted Life Year (DALY). However, the data required to calculate such measures are often not readily available for these diseases, which may lead to a vicious circle of under-recognition and under-funding.MethodologyWe examined the burden of PZs in Nepal through a systematic review of online and offline data sources. PZs were classified qualitatively according to endemicity, and where possible a quantitative burden assessment was conducted in terms of the annual number of incident cases, deaths and DALYs.Principal FindingsBetween 2000 and 2012, the highest annual burden was imposed by neurocysticercosis and congenital toxoplasmosis (14,268 DALYs [95% Credibility Interval (CrI): 5450–27,694] and 9255 DALYs [95% CrI: 6135–13,292], respectively), followed by cystic echinococcosis (251 DALYs [95% CrI: 105–458]). Nepal is probably endemic for trichinellosis, toxocarosis, diphyllobothriosis, foodborne trematodosis, taeniosis, and zoonotic intestinal helminthic and protozoal infections, but insufficient data were available to quantify their health impact. Sporadic cases of alveolar echinococcosis, angiostrongylosis, capillariosis, dirofilariosis, gnathostomosis, sparganosis and cutaneous leishmaniosis may occur.Conclusions/SignificanceIn settings with limited surveillance capacity, it is possible to quantify the health impact of PZs and other neglected diseases, thereby interrupting the vicious circle of neglect. In Nepal, we found that several PZs are endemic and are imposing a significant burden to public health, higher than that of malaria, and comparable to that of HIV/AIDS. However, several critical data gaps remain. Enhanced surveillance for the endemic PZs identified in this study would enable additional burden estimates, and a more complete picture of the impact of these diseases.

“…A study by Bhandari and Shrestha (2019) found that internal control systems in cooperative societies in Nepal are generally weak and ineffective due to lack of proper training and resources. The study found that many cooperative societies in Nepal struggle with issues such as financial mismanagement, embezzlement, and lack of transparency.…”

The study aims to assess the effect of the internal control system on the perceived financial performance of saving and credit cooperatives. Internal controls were measured using four elements (i.e. control environment, risk assessment, control activities, and information and communication) as prescribed by the Tedway Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) framework. Perceived financial performance has been measured through the increase in ROA, ROE, deposit and lending, liquidity and EPS. A descriptive and casual comparative research design was adopted to describe the relationship and effect between the elements of internal control system and financial performance. Out of 86 saving and credit cooperatives registered under the legislative area of Butwal Sub-Metropolitan city, only 38 has been considered as sample. A structured questionnaire on 5 point likert scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree has been adopted. The findings of the study has revealed that the SACCOs (Shaving and Credit Co-operative enjoy a sound financial performance partly because of implementing and maintaining effective internal control system.
