From October 13 to 28, the Fucheng District Center for Disease Control and Prevention carried out monitoring of liver fluke disease and soil-derived nematode disease in our region. A total of 1022 stool samples were collected and tested.
Liver flukes, also known as Chinese domidosomes, is a parasite that parasitizes the bile ducts in the human liver, which can cause liver fluke disease after human infection, and the clinical manifestations are dyspepsia, fatigue, epigastric pain, hepatomegaly, and a small number of liver cirrhosis. Soil-derived nematodes are a kind of nematodes that do not require an intermediate host, and eggs or larvae directly infect human nematodes after the development of the outside world (mainly refers to the soil) to the infection period, such as roundworms, whipworms, hookworms, pinworms, etc., and human infection can get corresponding parasitic diseases. Liver flukes and soil-derived nematodes are parasites that seriously affect the health of the people.
At present, no cases of liver fluke infection have been found in our region, but there are still soil-derived nematode infections, which are related to barefoot work in rural areas. In the next step, the relevant departments will refer the infected cases to provide a basis for the prevention and control of soil-derived nematodes of liver flukes in our region.
