Abstract

Information on the detection of acanthocephalan Moniliformis moniliformis (Bremser, 1811) in a striped field mouse in Belarus and the short description of this parasite is given. The first finding of this helminth in Belarus (Malorita district of Brest region, south-western part of Belarus) is reported. The functioning of the centre of moniliformosis on the drainage system in the Malorita district is described. Rodents, as well as other animals as definitive hosts and insects as intermediate hosts of acanthocephalan Moniliformis moniliformis, take part in centre formation. This helminth has a medical significance because parasitize not only animals but also humans.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
