Abstract |
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the disease which has hyperglycemic state leading to many complication such as increases risk of infection especially bacteria and fungus. However, information about interaction of parasitic infection and DM is limited. the prevalence of DM is high in northeastern thailand where opisthorchiasis caused by liver uke Opisthorchis viverrini infection is also endemic. the aim of this study was
to investigate the effect of DM on opisthorchiasis at 1 month post-infection both on parasite and hamster. the diabetic condition was induced by streptozotocin injection. the present study was carried out on four groups of hamster: (1) normal group, (2) group infected with O. viverrini, (3) diabetic without infection group,
and (4) group injected with streptozotocin and then 2 months post-treatment infected with O. viverrini. the results revealed that liver per body weight ratio in the diabetic with infection group was signi cantly higher than in other group. For the worm size of liver uke in the diabetic with infection group was smaller than in non-diabetic group. these results suggest that diabetic condition has the effect on both host and O. viverrini fecundity by changing in physiological conditions. |
