I-Helminthiasis emakati: izimpawu nokwelashwa

I-Helminthiasis emakati iyinto esabekayo, awukwazi ukusho ngenye indlela. Ngeshwa, lokhu kuyinkinga evamile ezifuyweni, ikakhulukazi amakati. Ziyini izikelemu ze-tapeworm? Ingabe ama-tapeworms ayathelelana emakati? Futhi umbuzo obaluleke kakhulu: kanjani ukuqeda tapeworms?

Ziyini izikelemu ze-tapeworm?

Ama-tapeworms ama-flatworm amade. Emlonyeni anamahhuku afakwa ngawo emathunjini amancane esilwane. Zidla izakhamzimba ezingena emzimbeni wekati. Ikwazi ukufinyelela ku-50 cm ubude, kodwa izikelemu eziningi ezindala zikhula zibe ngu-20 cm. Njengoba zikhula, izingxenye ezihlukene ziqala ukuphuma emzimbeni we-tapeworm, ososayensi abayibiza ngokuthi ama-proglottids. Ama-proglott alingana nohlamvu zelayisi achithwa ngemuva komzimba wesikelemu bese edluliselwa endle yekati.

Ukutheleleka kwekati elinezikelemu ze-tapeworm kwenzeka ngezindlela eziningana. Okuvame kakhulu ngamazeze. Izibungu ezincane zezeze zingangenwa ama-tapeworm. Uma ikati ligwinya izeze elinaleli gciwane ngesikhathi likhotha uboya balo, khona-ke isilwane esincane singena emzimbeni kanye nezeze, elizokhula ngokushesha lilingane nesibungu esivuthiwe. Ikati lingangenwa izikelemu ngokudla isilwane esincane njengengwejeje noma igundane.

Imuphi umonakalo odalwa yizikelemu ekati?

Nakuba ama-tapeworms emakati angakhula abe osayizi abakhulu, ababhekwa njengengozi odokotela bezilwane. Into wukuthi azikwazi ukulimaza unomphela impilo yesilwane, ngokusho kongoti besikhungo iDrake Veterinary Centre (Drake Centre for Veterinary Care). Ngakho-ke, uma ikati lakho lingenwe izikelemu ezinjengamatapeworms, lizoqala ukuncipha ngenxa yokuthi izimuncagazi zizodla imisoco ekudleni. Ngezinye izikhathi ama-tapeworms aphuma emathunjini amancane aye esiswini. Khona-ke isilwane singase siqale ukuhlanza, futhi i-parasite ephilayo izophuma kanye nokuhlanza, okubangela ukwesaba kumnikazi wekati, owayengazi ngokutheleleka kwayo.

Ungabona kanjani ukuthi ikati lingenwe ama-tapeworms?

Ngokwemvelo, izingxenye zomzimba we-tapeworms emhlanzweni wesilwane esifuywayo zisebenza njengophawu olucacile lwama-parasites. Ezinye izimpawu ze-helminthiasis emakati zihlanganisa ukulahlekelwa kwesisindo esingachazwanga, kodwa ama-proglottid yisibonakaliso esivame kakhulu. Kunzima ukungaziboni izingxenye zomzimba wesibungu ezimhlophe, ezifana nerayisi, ezigcwele amaqanda endle yekati naseboyeni eduze kwedidi. Ungase futhi uqaphele ukuthi isilwane sibonakala sinwaya ngemuva komzimba phansi, njengoba izimuncagazi zicasula isikhumba ku-anus, nakuba lokhu kuziphatha kuvame kakhulu ezinjeni.

Indlela yokwelapha i-helminthiasis emakati?

Ngenhlanhla, i-helminthiasis iphathwa kalula nangempumelelo. Uma ikati lakho linegciwane, udokotela wakho wezilwane uzokunikeza umuthi wokubulala izikelemu. Zivame ukutholakala njengamalungiselelo omlomo, kodwa ngezinye izikhathi ngendlela yokujova.

Ngemuva kokuthatha umuthi we-antihelminthic, ama-helminths ayafa. Ngokuvumelana nalokho, ngeke usazibona izimpawu zokuba khona kwawo ethreyini lekati. Izidakamizwa ze-Antihelminthic ngokuvamile azibangeli imiphumela emibi ekati, njengokuhlanza noma isifo sohudo.

Yiqiniso, kungcono kakhulu ukugcina ikati lakho lingenazo izikelemu ngokuphelele. Ubungozi be-helminthiasis buncishiswa kakhulu ngokusetshenziswa njalo kwemikhiqizo yokuvikela amazeze kanye nokunakekelwa kwekhaya lesilwane esifuywayo. Izikelemu ngokwazo azithelelani njengomkhuhlane ojwayelekile, isibonelo, kodwa zingadluliselwa (ngezeze) kwezinye izilwane futhi ngezikhathi ezithile nakubantu. Ngokufanayo, lapho izeze elinamagciwane ligwinywa, inja itheleleka nge-helminthiasis. Uma wena noma izingane zakho nigwinye izeze ngephutha, nani ningatheleleka.

Zingaki izinhlobo zezikelemu ezikhona?

Kunezinhlobo ezimbili zama-tapeworms. Okuvame kakhulu yilokhu okubizwa nge-Dipylidium Caninum, njengoba kuchazwe ochwepheshe beCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), lesi sihloko esinikezwe sona.

Uhlobo lwesibili, oluyingozi kakhulu, lubizwa ngokuthi i-Echinococcus (Echinococcus). Ngokusho kwe-CDC, i-cystic echinococcosis iqala ngenxa yokutheleleka ngesigaba sezibungu ze-Echinococcus granulosus tapeworms, ezithwalwa yizinja, izimvu, izinkomo, izimbuzi nezingulube.

“Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi iningi lalesi sifo alibonakali kahle, i-cystic echinococcosis iba yingozi, ikhula kancane kancane ngama-cysts esibindi, amaphaphu nezinye izitho iziguli ezingaziboni iminyaka eminingi,” kusho ochwepheshe be-CDC.

Olunye uhlobo lwe-Echinococcus yi-Echinococcus multichamber, ebangela isifo esibizwa ngokuthi i-alveolar echinococcosis. Abathwali balolu hlobo lwama-parasite izimpungushe, izinja, amakati namagundane amancane. Amacala alesi sifo kubantu ayivelakancane kakhulu, kodwa abucayi kakhulu futhi abonakala ngokukhula kwezimila ze-parasitic esibindini, emaphashini, ebuchosheni nakwezinye izitho. I-alveolar echinococcosis ingabulala uma ingelashwa, ngokusho kwe-CDC. Kodwa, ngenhlanhla, izimo ezinjalo azivamile.

Ezinye izikelemu ze-parasitic emakati

Ama-tapeworms angenye yezinhlobo ezivame kakhulu zezikelemu ezihlasela izilwane. I-International Cat Care Organisation ihlonza ezinye izinhlobo ezimbalwa zezikelemu ezitholakala ezilwaneni:

• Izikelemu eziyindilinga. Okuvame ukutholakala kumakati. Amakati angenwa yiwo ngobisi lukanina. Isilwane esikhulile sitheleleka ngokudla igundane elinegciwane.
• Ama-Nematode. Okuvame kakhulu ezinjeni, kodwa futhi kutholakala kumakati. Zincane futhi, njengezikelemu, zihlala emathunjini amancane esilwane. Zidla igazi lesilwane, okungaholela ekulahlekelweni kwegazi. Ukutheleleka kwenzeka ngokudla amaqanda noma izibungu ze-nematode.
• Izikelemu ezingekho emathunjini. I-pulmonary, inhliziyo kanye ne-ocular, ehlala ezingxenyeni ezihambisanayo zomzimba wesilwane.

Ukukhuluma ngezikelemu ezihlala emzimbeni wesilwane kungabangela isicanucanu kubanikazi besisu esinamandla. Ngenhlanhla, naphezu kobukhulu bazo obukhulu, izikelemu ze-parasitic kulula ukuzisusa, futhi ayikho imiphumela yezempilo yesikhathi eside okufanele sikhathazeke ngayo. Into engcono kakhulu ongayenzela ikati ukuqapha ngokucophelela ukuziphatha kwalo. Ukushintsha kungazelelwe ekuziphatheni kwakhe kungase kubonise izinkinga zempilo. Yingakho ukuhlolwa kwezilwane njalo kubaluleke kakhulu.
