Nested-PCR for diagnosis of Hymenolepis nana in the patients of Wasit Province
Keywords:
H.nana, feces, human, nested-PCRAbstract
The current study was carried out at Wasit Province / Iraq in cooperation with AL-Karama Teaching Hospital. Samples were collected from many places at Wasit Province. It included 100 stool samples from Iraqi patients conducted during the period from October to December, 2021 to investigate the prevalence of Hymenolepis nana. Only 23 stool sample were positive for H.nana. These samples were collected from the villages and rural areas of Wasit Province, the villages of Sayed-Shati and Al-Battar, the area of al-Anwar, the peasants, the expatriates, and the Dujaili area. The results showed that the percentage of H.nana infection among patients were 23 (23%). With regard to parasitic infection, the highest infection rate was recorded for the group (4-15) years old, as for sex, the percentage of males reached about 78.26% and females 21.74% in this study with no significant differences. According to residence, The highest infection was appeared in the rural areas 75% and the lowest was in the urban areas 25% with a significant differences.
