“…however it was less than the prevalence reported in primary school children (38%) in Ragama in Sri Lanka. 11 Furthermore, the prevalence in our study population was very high compared to those reported in other countries including Korea (9.2%-18.5%), 12 China (6.85%), 13 Taiwan (0.62%), 14 rural coastal Tanzania (16.7%-26.3%) 15 and Venezuela (19.1%). 16 In contrast, a comparatively high prevalence was reported in Turkey (43.8%), 17 Thailand (38.7%) 18 and Mongolia 35.8%.…”

“…Due to close morphological similarities, molecular phylogenetic approaches have been used extensively in association with traditional morphological techniques as reliable methods for confirmation of accurate identification, and differentiation between pinworms infect-ing laboratory rodents (Jacobs et al, 1997;Zhu et al, 1998;Vermund and Wilson, 2000;Morales-Hojas et al, 2001;Nakano et al, 2006;Li et al, 2007;Zhu et al, 2007;Chang et al, 2009). In the present study, a nuclear rDNA region of the recovered parasite species was amplified using the species-specific primers Nem 18SF/Nem 18SR, designed by Floyd et al (2005).…”

Aspiculuris tetraptera is a heteroxynematid nematoda infecting most of the laboratory animals, occasionally mice which represent the mostly used animal for biological, medical, and pharmacological studies. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of nematode parasites infection in the laboratory mice Mus musculus in Egypt. Morphologically, this oxyurid possessed four distinct cephalic papillae on a cephalic plate, with three small rudimental lips carrying two sessile poorly developed labial papillae and one pair of amphidial pores. Esophagus divided into cylindrical corpus and globular bulb. Distinct cervical alae interrupted at the level of esophago-intestinal junction forming an acute angle. At the caudal end, twelve caudal papillae in male worms while an ovijector apparatus opening and a vulva surrounded by protruded lips in females were observed. The general morphological criteria include this nematode with other Aspiculuris species which were compared in the present study. Molecular characterization based on 18SSU rDNA sequencing performed to confirm the taxonomic position of this species and to documents the morphological data. Sequence alignment detects a percent of identity up to 88.0% with other Heteroxynematidae species. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the present recorded is a putative sister taxon to A. tetraptera recorded in a previous study. The SSU rDNA sequence has been deposited in the GenBank under the accession no. MG019400.

“…In Nigeria, the prevalence of infection was found to be 7.5% 6 , while in Thailand it was 38.8% 7 and in Venezuela it was 19.1% 8 . However, very low prevalence rates of 0.62% and 0.0% were found in pre-school children in Taiwan 9 and in an urban area in Thailand. 10 Enterobiasis is commonly associated with overcrowding and poor personal hygiene.…”

Enterobiasis is one of the commonest human parasitic infections in the world. Diagnosis of enterobiasis is by demonstration of eggs or adult worms by sampling the perianal and perineal skin using adhesive cellulose tape (scotch tape). This study determined the prevalence of Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) infection among 483 schoolchildren attending four selected schools in the Hambantota district. The prevalence of infection was 6.2% (n=30). Since pinworm infection is a family infection, the implications are that at least 30 families are infected. Further studies are needed to understand the prevalence, distribution and the physical and psychological impact of pinworm infection in the population.
