Abstract

Abstract:

To improve the echinococcosis control effectiveness, an intelligent canine management system integrating network technology, smart medication box, and a cloud management platform was designed, and applied in Shaliuhe Town and Haergai Town, Gangcha County, Qinghai Province in July 2022 and June 2023, respectively. The positive rate of Echinococcus infection decreased from 6.25% (2/32) to 0 (0/36) in dog stool samples in Shaliuhe Town following 2 months of deployment of the smart medication box, and remained at 0 (0/36) after 16 months (Fisher’s exact test, P > 0.05). The positive rate of Echinococcus infection decreased from reduced from 9.10% (5/55) to 2.00% (1/50) in dog stool samples in Haergai Town following 2 months of deployment of the smart medication box (Fisher’s exact test, P > 0.05), and then, 50 dog stool samples were collected each month for seven months, with no positive samples detected (Fisher’s exact test, P < 0.01). These findings demonstrate that the system effectively solves the problems of a difficulty in dog management and a low compliance to medication deployment, remarkably improves the timeliness and standardization of deworming and significantly reduces workload of disease control personnels via release of reminders of automate medication and stool monitoring functions. The study developed a dog intelligent management system and validated its application effectiveness in precise prevention and control of echinococcosis, providing innovative solutions for parasitic disease prevention and control.
