The epidemiology of canine gastrointestinal parasitic zoonoses in different community settings in Thailand

这只狗在将人畜共患胃肠道寄生虫传播给人类方面的作用已被认为是全球范围内的一个重大公共卫生问题。关于泰国及其区域国家犬类寄生虫的监测数据基本缺乏，特别是关于犬类作为肝脏和肠道吸虫永久传播者的作用。该项目旨在结合常规和新的分子流行病学工具，对这些寄生虫对公众构成的风险进行准确和全面的评估。该项目的成功完成将为东南亚地区将产生的控制程序提供一个模式。

The dog's role in transmitting zoonotic gastrointestinal parasites to humans has been recognised as a significant public health problem worldwide. Surveillance data with regard to canine parasites in Thailand and its regional countries is largely lacking, especially with regard to the dog's role as a perpetuator of the liver and intestinal flukes. This project aims to provide an accurate and comprehensive assessment of the risks these parasites pose to the public using a combination of conventional and novel molecular epidemiological tools. Successful completion of this project will provide a model for control programs to be generated in the SE Asian region.
