Abstract

Objective of research:  to study a complex of measurements against nematodoses in the Republic of  Belarus; to analyze the dynamics of nematodoses detected in 2010-2014 based on the data of the clinical laboratory at the polyclinic of the city of Grodno; to investigate the familiarity of population with helminth infections by survey questionnaire of patients from the a.m. polyclinic; to study the dynamics of trichinellosis morbidity according to the data of the regional Sanitary and Epidemiological Station (SES).

Materials and methods:  In our research, we used statistical data from the clinical laboratory of Polyclinic no. 4 of the city of Grodno and the survey questionnaire of patients; statistics from the regional Sanitary and Epidemiological Station on the trichinellosis morbidity among the population of the Grodno region in 2012-2014; coproovoscopic methods to diagnose ascaridosis and trichocephalosis; a method of rectal smears with an adhesive tape to diagnose enterobiasis.

Results and discussion:

The nematode infection is spread mainly through food.

When evaluating the research data, we pointed out the decreased prevalence of ascaridosis, beginning from 2011; however, the number of studies carried out on this disease has increased significantly.

The same situation is observed also in relation to enterobiasis; the figures have decreased twice starting from 2013. The statistics show that pinworm infection (enterobiasis) most commonly occurs among children. Within 5 years, no cases of trichocephalosis were detected.

In 2014, in Grodno region 36 cases of thrichinellosis were reported. The disease was caused by wild boar meat, which did not pass the veterinary expertise.

Keywords: helminths, ascaridosis, enterobiasis, thrichinellosis, prevention.
