- ItemEpidemiology and diversity of gastrointestinal tract helminths of wild ruminants in Sub-Saharan Africa – A review(2024-05-14) Phetla, Veronica; Chaisi, Mamohale; Malatji, MokgadiGastrointestinal tract (GIT) helminth infections are a major concern to both human and animal health. They can have severe consequences on wild and domestic animals, including acute clinical signs leading to production losses and mortality, and they pose a significant threat to the conservation of wildlife. The review summarises studies on the distribution, diversity, and prevalence of GIT helminths in wild ruminants in sub-Saharan Africa. The results showed that 109 species or species complexes were recorded in ten sub-Saharan African countries. South Africa reported the highest number of species. Nematodes showed the highest species richness, with eighty-eight nematode species or species complexes were recorded from 30 host species across eight countries. Trichostrongylus spp. and Haemonchus spp. were the most common, widely distributed geographically and utilized the highest number of host species. Fifteen trematode species or species complexes were reported from seven countries. Paramphistomum spp. were the most common, and Calicophoron calicophoron was the most commonly occurring species and infected the highest number of hosts. Six cestode species or species complexes from the family Anoplocephalidae were documented from 14 hosts in seven countries. Moniezia spp. were the most common in terms of host range and geographical distribution. Impala were infected by the highest number of nematodes, whilst Nyala were infected by the highest number of trematode species. Greater kudu and Impala harbored the largest number of cestodes. The prevalence ranged from 1.4% - 100% for nematodes, 0.8% - 100% for trematodes, and 1.4% - 50% for cestodes. This review has indicated that a wide range of GIT species of conservation, economic and zoonotic importance infects wild ruminants in sub-Saharan Africa. The thirty-one species complexes not described to species level further highlighted limitations in information on the distribution and diversity of GIT helminths in wild ruminants in most countries, and the importance of using molecular methods for species identification. Therefore, we recommend surveys of GIT helminths in wild ruminants in all sub-Saharan African countries, targeting a larger number of animals and species; and using a combination of traditional methods (microscopy) and molecular techniques to allow for species identification.
- ItemEpidemiology and diversity of gastrointestinal tract helminths of wild ruminants in Sub-Saharan Africa – A review(2024-10-30) Phetla, Veronica; Chaisi, Mamohale; Malatji, MokgadiThis review summarises studies on distribution, diversity, and prevalence of gastrointestinal helminth infections in wild ruminants in sub-Saharan Africa. The results showed that 109 gastrointestinal tract (GIT) helminth species or species complexes were recorded in 10 sub- Saharan African countries. South Africa reported the highest number of species because most studies were carried out in this country. Eighty-eight nematode species or species complexes were recorded from 30 wild ruminant species across eight countries. The genus Trichostrongylus recorded the highest number of species and utilised the highest number of wild ruminant species, and along with Haemonchus spp., was the most widely distributed geographically. Fifteen trematode species or species complexes were reported from seven countries. The genus Paramphistomum recorded the highest number of species, and Calicophoron calicophoron was the most commonly occurring species in sub-Saharan African countries and infected the highest number of hosts. Six cestode species or species complexes from one family were documented from 14 wild hosts in seven countries. Moniezia spp. were the most commonly distributed in terms of host range and geographically. Impala were infected by the highest number of nematodes, whilst Nyala were infected by the highest number of trematode species. Greater kudu and Impala harbored the largest number of cestodes. The prevalence amongst the three GIT helminths taxa ranged between 1.4% and 100% for nematodes, 0.8% and 100% for trematodes, and 1.4% and 50% for cestodes. There is still limited information on the distribution and diversity of GIT helminths in wild ruminants in most sub-Saharan African countries.
