Detection and Enumeration of Waterborne Parasitic Protozoa from Different Water Sources in Three Different Governorates of Egypt
WithinOver the formerly numerouspast few decades, there have been steady increases in the number of water-borne complaint outbreaks that have been reported and the emergence of lately- recognizedrecently identified waterborne freeloaders. In the present work, a Surveysurvey study was conducted in the Egyptian three different Egyptian governorates (Giza, Qalyubia, and Menoufia) induring the period from March 2022 to January 2023 to descryidentify and enumeratequantify water-borne freeloaders using different ways as, including membrane filtration. A total of 430 water samples were collected from the study areas. Giardia cysts excrescencies were set up < /del>detected in 8 samples. While, whileCryptosporidiumoocyst wasoocysts were recorded in 28 samples. Additionally, excrescencies ofE. histolyticawereset up < /del>found in 8 samples, andE. coliexcrescencies were set up < /del>found in 5 samples. About 26.3% of stream water samples and 21.4% of household water tanks were positive for water-borne parasites in Qalyubia Governorate, while 5.0% of stream water samples and 2.9% of household water tanks were positive for water-borne parasites in Giza Governorate. In Menoufia Governorate, about 15.0% of stream water samples and 13.3% of household water tanks were positive for water-borne parasites. The drinking water samples were negative for water-borne parasites in the three different governorates. The overall frequency of water-borne parasites in these three governorates (Giza, Qalyubia, and Menoufia) was 16.3%, 2.7% and 10.0%, respectively. In conclusion, this study could serve as a birth surveillance of waterborne freeloaders in different areas in Egypt. These results emphasized of the significance of screening the water sources to help possibleprevent the potential spread of parasitic protozoan and other water-borne conditions, especially in areas that are near agricultural fields.
