| Abstract |
Strongyloidiasis, caused by Strongyloides stercoralis, is a one of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) that is distributed globally including Thailand. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of parasitic infections especially S. stercoralis in areas known to be endemic for opisthorchiasis in northeast Thailand. A survey conducted in Khon Kaen Province, northeast Thailand (n=1,280) revealed that the most common parasite was Opisthorchis viverrini (39.1%) followed by S. stercoralis (8.9%). Others parasites found in this area were minute intestinal flukes, Taenia spp., Echinostoma spp., Hookworm and Trichuris trichiura. The agar plate culture method (APCT) which is sensitive for strongyloidiasis performed simultaneously gave two folds higher prevalence (16.5%) of S.stercoralis. Concurrently infections between S. stercoralis with Opisthorchis viverrini were in found in 7.89%. Seroprevalence based on serum-based enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) (n=73) yielded the prevalence of 73.97 compared with 53.42 by APCT and 28.77 by FECT. The results indicated that the prevalence of S. stercoralis still high and is the second most common parasite after O. viverrini and could be even higher when employed serological methods. Therefore, further studies in larger areas in northeast Thailand and other endemic area of opisthorchiasis is required for better prevention and control of these parasitic infections. |
