- Gastrointestinal parasites pose a significant health threat to both humans and livestock in rural Nepal, particularly in the Jirel community, where close interactions between people and animals increase the risk of zoonotic diseases.
- A study collected and analyzed 152 fecal samples from various domesticated animals and humans, finding the highest prevalence of parasites in goats (80%) and notable infection rates in pigs (55.55%) and cows (45.45%).
- While locals are generally aware of health and hygiene practices, targeted intervention strategies are needed to reduce parasitic infections among their domestic animals.
The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) parasites in goats of Suryabinayak Municipality, Bhaktapur, Nepal. A total of 300 faecal samples of goats were collected from the study area from July to August 2021 and subjected to direct smear, sedimentation, and flotation techniques for coprological examination. The study revealed that 86% of samples were positive for GI parasites with 15 genera, including six genera of protozoan, and nine genera of helminths.
