Prevalence of Cercarial Trematode in Bithynid Snail (Bithynia siamensis goniomphalos) in Catchment Areas of Nam Oun Dam, Phang Khon District, Sakon Nakhon Province
Abstract
The objective of this study was to study the prevalence of cercarial trematode in bithynid snail (Bithynia siamensis goniomphalos) in catchment areas of Nam Oun Dam, Phang Khon District, Sakon Nakhon Province. Bithynid snail samples were collected in 5 Subdistricts (Phang Khon, Rae, Hai Yong, Muang Khai and Ton Phueng) from 25 sampling sites during September 2020 to October 2021. Hands and sieves were used for sampling and Cercarial Shedding Method was used for investigating of cercarial trematode. A total of 175 of 12,500 bithynid snails were infected with cercarial trematodes, and the cercarial trematodes were classified into 7 groups such as 1) Armatae cercaria, 2) Furcocercous cercariae, 3) Gymnocephalous cercaria, 4) Pleurolophocercous cercaria, 5) Xiphidiocercariae type virgulate 1, 6) Xiphidiocercariae type virgulate 2 and 7) Xiphidiocercariae type virgulate 3. The highest infection was found in Rae Subdistict, 3.08%. Xiphidiocercariae type virgulate 3 was the most common group in catchment areas of Nam Oun Dam of Phang Khon District. The highest prevalence and the total prevalence of infection of bithynid snail during March to July 2021 were 3.08% and 1.40%, respectively. The highest prevalence of infection of Xiphidiocercariae virgulate 3 was 0.38% and the total prevalence of cercarial trematode infection was 1.39%. Liver fluke test results found that all 7 groups of cercarial trematode from catchment areas of Nam Oun Dam were not the major Northeastern liver flukes that caused the liver fluke disease and cholangiocarcinoma.
