Untersuchungen zum Vorkommen und zur anthelminthischen Suszeptibilität von gastrointestinalen Nematoden bei Menschen und Schweinen in Ruanda von Fraundorfer,  Kira Marie-Christine
Soil transmitted helminths (STHs), namely Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura and the hookworms A. duodenale and N. americanus are common parasites in almost two billion humans globally and pose a great threat to human health, especially in schoolchildren. Strategic treatment against STHs becomes increasingly important in many endemic countries. School children are particularly vulnerable and STHs can inhibit school performance or, in more severe cases, lead to malnutrition and growth stunting. In Rwanda, preventive chemotherapy is applied once or twice a year to school children and most members of the target group are regularly treated. In this present study, stool samples from school children aged six to ten years belonging to twelve schools and stool samples from pigs from the subdistricts of the southern province of Rwanda were examined using Mini-FLOTAC chamber to detect eggs of one or multiple of the STH species mentioned above. Fecal egg count reduction (FECR) and cure rate (CR) were calculated to assess whether worm populations in Rwanda showed any signs for development of resistance against benzimidazoles. In 2014, almost 2000 stool samples were examined. During the follow-up in the next year, additional 400 samples from four out of the twelve schools were collected and examined. Children which had been enrolled in the study brought a fresh stool sample to school, which was then collected. In 2014, the children were also clinically examined. Additionally, a blood sample was taken and finally the children were treated with Albendazol under supervision. A follow-up stool sample was collected seven to ten days after the first treatment. The same procedure was undertaken in 2015 but children were not again clinically examined nor had to provide a blood sample. In 2014, additional stool samples from pigs, living in sheds next to the house as the participating children, were collected and examined for eggs of Ascaris suum, Trichuris suis or gastrointestinal strongyles. For further investigations, samples were kept from which DNA was extracted in the laboratory in Berlin and molecular analysis of β-tubulin single nucleotide polymorphisms in Ascaris sp. was performed. The overall prevalence for Ascaris sp. before the first round of deworming was 40 %, it decreased to 13 % after treatment. The results of microscopy in the present study showed signs of reduced efficacy of the BZ albendazole in nine out of 10 examined schools. The FECR in the affected schools was significally below the treshold suggested by Vercruysse et al. (2011). Overall it ranged from zero to 99.56 %. The CRs ranged from 33 to 100 %. However, the molecular biological results were not in line with the microscopic results since in none of the analyzed samples SNPs associated with BZ resistance were found. The prevalence of Ascaris sp. in pigs ranged from 18,5 - 80,8 %, of T. suis from 0 - 28,8 % and prevalences of hookworm ranged from 72,2 – 94,2 %. In the as urban claimed villages of Ngoma and Tumba there were no pigs living at the time our study was conducted. The results of the study suggest that resistance might have developed in the southern province of Rwanda and treatment has to be adapted accordingly to prevent further selection of resistant worm populations. This should be a priority in future prevention programs. For better evaluation of the prevalence of resistant population, further research needs to be conducted throughout the entire country. As this study has failed to show any of the suggested SNPs associated with benzimidazole resistance, further investigations into the mechanisms of resistance in Ascaris sp. are suggested since it is possible that SNPs are found at other sites of the genome such as in additional β-tubulin isotypes. In addition, it is possible that BZ metabolism leads to resistance by reducing the concentration of active drug with the worms. Future research will be needed to identify the BZ resistance mechanisms in Ascaris sp.
