Hymenolepis diminuta and Rodentolepis nana (Hymenolepididae: Cyclophyllidea) in urban rodents of Gran La Plata: association with socio-environmental conditions

Abstract: The aim of this survey was to study two Hymenolepididae species in urban rodents, Rattus rattus and Rattus norvegicus, and to analyse factors that favour their presence in the environment and pose a sanitary risk. Hymenolepis diminuta and Rodentolepis nana were found in R. rattus and R. norvegicus in different proportions. Values of prevalence, mean abundance and mean intensity were recorded, and new morphometric characters were described, adding to previously known information. No significant differences were… Show more

“…However, the close proximity of wildlife to areas of dense human activity is likely to increase the risk of zoonotic disease transmission, and risk will be highest where socioeconomic and environmental conditions are appropriate for urban hosts and parasites. For example, inadequate sanitation is associated with an increased presence of rodents in the home, which maintain the cestodes H. diminuta and R. nana [94,101]. Children of low-income families are at highest risk of infection by these cestodes through accidental ingestion of insects [94].…”

“…La prevalencia de Hymenolepis nana encontrada del 22.99 %, es mayor que la determinada en Costa Rica (0.97 %) (22) ; en Cuba (2.56 %) (23) ; en Perú (6.8 %) (17) ; en Brasil (8.8 %) (24) ; en Argentina (8.2 %) (19) . Así mismo, se determinan prevalencias bajas de H. nana en países de otros continentes como: en Irán el 2.5 % (25) , entre el 3.3 al 10.3 % en China; en Países bajos entre el 3.3 % al 4.1 % (26) ; pero se ha registrado prevalencias mayores en Taiwán 21.8 % (26) , Brasil 35.7 % (27) e Italia 100 % (26) .…”

“…El 10.64 % de Himenolepis diminuta determinada es menor que la expresada en Cuba con el 11.5 % (23) , en Argentina con el 12.2 % (19) , en Perú entre el 25.7 y el 43.8 % (28) y en Costa Rica con el 43.68 % (22) . También, se determinó prevalencias bajas de H. diminuta en países de otros continentes como: Taiwán con 6.3 % (26) e Irán con 1.7 % (25) , en contraste con prevalencias por encima de la encontrada (10.64 %) en países como China (27.8 %) (26) , Irán (38.8 %) (25) , Países bajos (10.2 a 50 %), Serbia (30.5 %) e India (62.5 %) (26) .…”

“…Adanya infestasi cacing ini menandakan higienitas dan sanitasi yang masih kurang dari individu tersebut. (25)(26)(27) Pada penelitian ini didapatkan semua pekerja sudah mencuci tangan sesudah bekerja, sebelum makan dan sesudah buang air besar tetapi memang ada sebagian kecil pekerja yang mencuci tangan tidak selalu dengan sabun. Cuci tangan yang bersih dengan sabun merupakan salah satu tindakan pencegahan untuk infeksi cacing usus yang penularannya lewat fecal-oral.…”
