Capillaria philippinensis, an intestinal parasitic disease, has become a global health concern. Its spread is linked to freshwater fish consumption and potentially migratory birds.

Area of Science:

  • Parasitology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • An unknown intestinal parasitic disease was first reported in the Philippines in 1963.
  • This disease, later identified as Capillaria philippinensis, caused intractable diarrhea and death.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the emergence and spread of Capillaria philippinensis.
  • To identify the hosts and transmission routes of the parasite.

Main Methods:

  • Case reporting and epidemiological investigation.
  • Identification of intermediate hosts (freshwater fish) and definitive hosts (fish-eating birds).

Main Results:

  • Capillaria philippinensis infections led to epidemics in the Philippines and endemicity in Thailand.

  • Cases have also been reported in Japan, Iran, and Egypt.
  • Small freshwater and brackish water fish are natural intermediate hosts.

    • Conclusions:

    • The spread of Capillaria philippinensis is a significant global health issue.
    • Migratory birds are suggested as a potential factor in the parasite's dissemination.
    • Understanding transmission is crucial for disease control.
