Zoonotic relevance due to reservoir host function
In Nigeria highest odds ratios (i.e. 17.98) identified for presence of pigs re zoonotic infection (Ugbomoiko et al. 2007, Ugbomoiko et al. 2008)
In Brasil soil samples from indoor resting places of dogs significantly more often positive than other sites (Linardi et al. ATMP 2010)
In Brasil high prevalence rates between 30 and approx. 70% in cats and dogs, respectively, as well as rats in slum and rural villages (Heukelbach et al. MVE 2004)
In Brasil presence of animals on compound associated with OR of 1.9 (Muehlen et al. 2005)
In Brasil intensity of infection in pet animals correlated with that in humans (Pilger et al. 2007) and insecticidal treatment could reduce infection in humans (Klimpel et al. 2005)

Planned field study in T. penetrans endemic Ugandian villages
Objectives:• Evaluation of Tunga spp. prevalence in household or household
associated animals (e.g. pigs, dogs, cats, small ruminants, chicken) using parasitological and clinical score systems
• Characterization of seasonal patterns of Tunga spp. epidemiology
• Description of clinical and pathological characteristics of Tunga spp. infections in above mentioned animals
• Evaluation of novel treatment and control approaches using innovative parasiticides in different animal species
• Systematic collection of fleas recovered from animals for potential analysis of pathogens

Planned field study in T. penetrans endemic Ugandian villages
General study outline:
Bi-weekly monitoring of all types of domestic animals in 3 endemic villages to assess infection intensity and morbidity for a period of three months
Controlled intervention phase using monthly topical pyrethroid treatment in livestock and once per season imidacloprid/flumethrin collar (Seresto) treatment in dogs/cats; monitoring of intensity of infection and morbidity
Assessment of economic damage caused by Tungiasis in animals

What are key research questions re T. penetrans in animal hosts?
What are the characteristics for spatial/societal differences re veterinary risk factors for human infections?
How can infections in pet animals best be treated/controlled?
How can infections in livestock animals best be treated/controlled?
What is the actual economic relevance of T. penetrans infection in livestock?
