Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2021 in ten communes in Bac Yen district (Son La province) and Bat Xat district (Lao Cai provinces). A total of 1,000 serum samples (500 indigenous pigs and 500 community participants) was collected and tested using a commercial ELISA test kit (Priocheck, ThermoFisher). Structure questionnaires were also used to interview selected pig owners and sampled community members regarding pig raising practice, eating behavior and disease knowledge and prevention. Results: The result shows that seroprevalence of trichinellosis in indigenous pigs and humans were 9.0% (45/500, 95%CI: 6.7-11.9) and 13.4% (67/500, 95%CI: 10.6-16.8), respectively. Trichinella seroprevalence in human was significantly higher in Son La (16.7%) compared to in Lao Cai (8.5%), but not for seroprevalence in pigs. Factors associated with trichinellosis seroprevalence in human were raising pigs’ activities (p=0.029, Fisher test) and eating raw vegetable behavior (p=0.007, Chi square test). While factors associated with trichinellosis seroprevalence in pigs were farmer’s knowledge about trichinellosis (p=0.033, Chi-squared test). Conclusion: Seroprevalence in both pigs and humans in northern Vietnam were relatively high, especially in the endemic province, which suggested the possibility of Trichinella spp. circulation in the community and indigenous pigs. Animal and public health awareness for the northern communities and pig farmers, i.e., using One health approach, are necessary to improve prevention and control this disease.Item Food safety risk communication: A One Health approach to improve knowledge and practices along pork value chains in Vietnam(Poster, 2022-11-07) Sinh Dang-Xuan; Trang Le-Thi-Huyen; Hai Ngo Hoang Tuan; Hung Nguyen-Viet; Nga Nguyen Thi Duong; Hung Pham-Van; Huyen Le Thi Thanh; Phuc Pham-Duc; Phi Nguyen-Hong; Unger, FredItem Seroprevalence and associated risk factors of trichinellosis and T. solium cysticercosis in indigenous pigs in Hoa Binh Province, Vietnam(Journal Article, 2022-04-07) Trang Thi-Huyen Le; Nga Vu-Thi; Sinh Dang-Xuan; Hung Nguyen-Viet; Phuc Pham-Duc; Luong Nguyen-Thanh; Ngoc Pham Thi; Noh, J.; Mayer-Scholl, A.; Baumann, M.; Meemken, D.; Unger, FredTrichinellosis and cysticercosis remain challenges to human health and animal productivity worldwide, especially in developing countries. While information on the occurrence of both diseases is infrequent, they are endemic in parts of Vietnam and mainly related to indigenous pigs kept by ethnic minorities. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors of both diseases in indigenous pigs and explore the perception and awareness of both human and pig trichinellosis and cysticercosis of pig farmers. A total of 352 pig sera samples from 131 holdings were collected and analyzed using ELISA antibody tests in six communes in the Da Bac districts of Hoa Binh province, Vietnam. A survey was conducted with representatives from these households to understand the knowledge and perspective on food-borne parasitic diseases. Overall, the seroprevalence of trichinellosis and T. solium cysticercosis was 13.6% (95% CI 10.2–17.7) and 1.7% (95% CI 0.6–3.7), respectively. The seroprevalence of trichinellosis was significantly higher in female and older pigs. Risk perception and knowledge of interviewed people on both human and pig trichinellosis and cysticercosis of pig farmers was poor. Risky practices, including free roaming of pigs and eating undercooked or fermented pork, were observed. Educational and awareness campaigns aligned with further research on feasible practice changes are critical to addressing these issues.Item Prevention of trichinellosis, cysticercosis and taeniasis(Poster, 2021-03-31) Hanoi University of Public HealthItem Safer indigenous pork and healthier ethnic minorities in Vietnam through better management of parasitic pig-borne diseases(Report, 2020-12) International Livestock Research InstituteItem Assessing the impact of educational campaigns on pork-borne parasitic diseases in Hoa Binh, Vietnam(Brief, 2021-05-08) Unger, Fred; Nguyen Thanh Luong; Ngo Hoang Tuan Hai; Phuc Pham Duc; Dang Xuan Sinh; Nguyen Hong Phi; Lam, S.Item Prevention of parasitic pig-borne diseases and improvement of hygiene practices in the pork value chain(Manual, 2020-12-31) International Livestock Research InstituteItem Improving safety of indigenous pork through better management of food safety and pork-borne parasitic diseases: Sharing research findings and discussing interventions(Report, 2019-10-18) International Livestock Research InstituteItem Food safety research and training in informal/wet markets in Southeast Asia(Presentation, 2021-01-27) Hung Nguyen-Viet; Unger, Fred; Sinh Dang-Xuan; Phuc Pham-Duc; Pham Van Hung; Tum, S.; Ty, C.; Chea, Rortana; Grace, DeliaItem Parasitic pig-borne diseases assessment, capacity building, communication and policy engagement(Presentation, 2020-12-17) Unger, Fred; Phuc Pham Duc; Hung Nguyen-Viet; Sinh Dang-Xuan; Nguyen Thanh Luong; Ngo Hoang Tuan Hai; Pham Thi Ngoc; Vu Thi Nga; Do Trung Dung; Grace, DeliaItem Traditional food chains – gains, threats, and ways to de-risk them(Presentation, 2020-12-17) Unger, Fred; Phuc Pham Duc; Pham Van Hung; Le Thi Thanh Huyen; Hung Nguyen-Viet; Sinh Dang-Xuan; Nguyen Duong Nga; Nguyen Thanh; Ngo Hoang Tuan Hai; Grace, DeliaItem Basic guidance for meat inspection in small-scale pig slaughtering in Vietnam(Training Material, 2020-12-23) International Livestock Research InstituteItem Phòng bệnh giun xoắn, ấu trùng sán lợn và sán dây lợn(Poster, 2020-06-15) Hanoi University of Public HealthItem Safer indigenous pork and healthier ethnic minorities in Vietnam through better management of parasitic pig-borne diseases(Brochure, 2020-02-01) International Livestock Research InstituteItem Re-emerging Trichinella seroprevalence in Ban pigs raised by ethnic minorities of Hoa Binh province(Poster, 2019-03) Nga Vu Thi; Mayer-Scholl, Anne; Ngoc Pham Thi; Lan Anh Nguyen Thi; Hung Nguyen-Viet; Unger, FredItem Serological prevalence and factors associated with human trichinellosis and cysticercosis in Hoa Binh Province, Northwest Vietnam(Poster, 2019-03-27) Luong Nguyen Thanh; Cook, M.; Sinh Dang-Xuan; Phuc Pham-Duc; Hung Nguyen-Viet; Mayer-Scholl, Anne; Meemken, D.; Unger, FredItem Safer indigenous pork and healthier ethnic minorities in Vietnam through better management of parasitic pig-borne diseases(Poster, 2018-09-17) Unger, Fred; Hung Nguyen-Viet; Phuc Pham Duc; Ngoc, P.T.; Alter, T.; Baumann, M.; Scholl, A.; Grace, DeliaItem Safer indigenous pork and healthier ethnic minorities in Vietnam through better management of parasitic pig-borne diseases(Poster, 2018-03-23) Unger, Fred; Hung Nguyen-Viet; Phuc Pham Duc; Ngoc, P.T.; Alter, T.; Baumann, M.; Scholl, A.; Grace, Delia
