ABSTRACT Food safety presents a global challenge, contributing to 600 million cases of foodborne diseases and 420,000 fatalities annually worldwide. In developing countries, such as Nepal, addressing food is particularly intricate arduous because the prevalent issues insecurity, poverty, illiteracy, regulatory hurdles. The objectives this comprehensive review are evaluate waterborne illnesses, examine existing regulations institutional frameworks, identify challenges associated with in Nepal. Additionally, aims propose strategies enhance measures country. An electronic search was conducted using relevant keywords include articles literature pertinent topic.

Large-scale anthropogenic developments in the metropolitan areas of Nepal and rural to urban influx people have exacerbated human-wildlife conflicts across human-altered landscapes Nepal. The Kathmandu Valley has experienced large-scale urbanization subsequently witnessed substantial incidents given increasing levels human encroachment into remnant wildlife habitats. Here, we applied DNA metabarcoding combination with geospatial analysis study feeding ecology two carnivores, leopard (Panthera pardus) cat (Prionailurus bengalensis), forests surrounding check whether leopards' predation on domestic animals contributes human-leopard conflict this region obtain a baseline data dietary habits poorly studied cat. We found that leopards were highly dependent dominated by human-use activities (agricultural built-up areas), whereas cats mostly predated wild rodents. Through our work, highlight importance prey diets carnivores like demonstrate influence human-induced habitat disturbance local wildlife. This generates critical information which will help inform mitigation strategies conservation planning for carnivore species, addition identifying within are susceptible conflicts.

ABSTRACT Background Globally, gastrointestinal (GI) infections are common, particularly in populations with low socioeconomic levels, including high illiteracy rates, ignorance, poor housing and lifestyles, unfavorable environmental conditions. These risk factors the underlying cause of GI parasitic many developing nations, Nepal.

The Asian elephants (Elephas maximus), despite their larger physical structure and strength, are often attacked by microorganisms, like gastrointestinal (GI) parasites, resulting in higher morbidity mortality. current study aimed to determine the prevalence diversity of GI parasites endangered Asiatic reared captivity around Chitwan National Park Central Nepal. With age sex variants, 63 fresh faecal samples (N = 63) were collected non-invasively transferred research laboratory for microscopic examination. Our findings showed a 95.2% rate, along with 17 identified diverse species including protozoa (6 spp.) helminths (11 two unknown (1 protozoan 1 helminth). (84.1%) was than that (77.8%).

Abstract Background The presence of intestinal parasites influences the growth and well‐being canids. Additionally, infected dogs their faeces with considerably higher eggs/oocysts released per gram (epg/opg) zoonotic contribute to parasitic spillover humans, domestic animals sympatric wildlife. Objectives current study aimed reveal prevalence (protozoa helminths) list zoonotically significant in free‐roaming street Lalitpur Metropolitan City, Nepal. Methods Fresh faecal samples ( n = 332) were collected from feral varying ages sexes transported research laboratory. copro microscopic examination was carried out via direct wet mount, formalin ethyl acetate sedimentation, saturated salt flotation, acid‐fast staining sporulation techniques. Results Coproscopy revealed an overall 95.7% (318/332) rate 23 diverse species (10 protozoa 13 helminths). Among them, 5 11 helminths possessed potential, 92.5%. Helminth's double that (87.7% vs. 43%). Polyparasitism dominant over mono parasitism (79.5% 16.3%), co‐infection up seven at a time recorded. Conclusions Urban harboured varied age sex. Since most reported are zoonotic, dog density richness indicate greater risk humans animals. Furthermore, this also provides appropriate ‘baseline’ data for assessing effective control measures against infestations among controlling transmission humans.
