Abstract |
From February to March 2014, six natural villages in Zhoucheng Town, Binchuan County of Yunan Province, were randomly selected by cluster sampling. Serum anti- fascioliasis IgG was detected by ELISA. The sero-positive individuals were further tested for Fasciola infection using sediment detection with nylon bag (260 meshes) and Kato-Katz method. Among 1207 sampled persons, the sero-positive rate was 3.0% (36/1207). The rate in males and females was 2.3% (12/530) and 3.6% (24/677) (u=1.46, P>0.05). The sero-positive rate in Zhoucheng Village and Baizhuang Village was 4.0% (24/616) and 2.0% (12/591), respectively (u=2.07, P<0.05). The positive rate of stool examination in serum-positive persons was 6.5% (2/31). One stool-egg-positive patients was the case in 2012 outbreak, and the eggs were stale. The other patient was newly infected, and further clinical diagnosis indicated that it was a case of chronic fascioliasis.
