Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 6
Abstract
A total of four hundred swine (Sus scrofa domesticus) samples were examined from January 2013 to December 2015. Out of 400 samples examined, 46 (11.5%) swine were infected with Taenia solium and Ascaris suum. The highest infection of cysticercus larvae of T.solium in swine were 8.43% (7/83) in Nepalganj, likewise 2.2% (2/95) in Dharan, 1.53% (1/65) in Kathmandu, 1.50% (1/66) in Butwal and infected swine was not found in Chitwan. The intensity determines the level of IgG production in the tested sample against the interacted antigenic fraction. Some remarkable bands were highly intense having higher integrated density value even though they were not consistent in different profile. Such highly intense fractions signify for the higher production of antibodies against those antigen and inconsistency refer for their low immunogenic value in NCC cases. ELISA test of 45 NCC suspected human serum samples only 37(82.22%) serum samples were positive. Seroepidemiolocal based on gender of the NCC cases showed 19 (51.35%) were male and 18 (48.65%) were female. Based on the ethnic groups among the 37 NCC positive patients analysed, 15 (40.54%) were Brahmin, similarly 7 (18.92%) patients were Chhetri, 6 (16.22%) Newar patients.Out of 3(8.11%) Mangolian and 3(8.11%) Dalit patients respectively.In the Madhesi and Muslim groups there were 2(5.41%) and 1(2.70%) patients respectively. Based on the clinical symptoms among the 37 NCC positive patients analyzed, 19 (51.35%) had Seizure. Similarly 16 (43.24%), 5(13.51%), 4(10.81%) and 3(8.11%) patients had Headache, Loss of conscious, Abnormal/jerky movements and Fainting attack respectively
