| description | We conducted a study in an endemic area of both
Oesophagostomum bifurcum and
Necator americanus in northern Ghana to examine the possibility of pigs acting as transport hosts for these two human helminth species, due to the commonly observed coprophagic habits of pigs. Under controlled conditions four parasite-free pigs consumed fresh faeces from people heavily infected with both helminths, and faeces were subsequently collected from the rectum of the pigs from 5 to 50 h post-feeding. Four to five per cent of the
O. bifurcum and
N. americanus eggs fed to the pigs were viable and retrieved as third-stage larvae after coproculture of the pigs’ faeces. We discuss the possible impact of the coprophagic habits of pigs as potential parasite transport hosts during different seasons in this area of West Africa. |
