Abstract
A study was carried out from the period of April to August, 2016 in and around Dutsin-Ma town to identify and determine prevalence of gastrointestinal and blood parasites in brown rat (Rattus norvegicus).During the research, a total of one hundred and sixteen 116 brown rats were trapped and captured.From the sampled rats used, 52 (44.83%) were males and 64 (55.17%) were females.Seventy-two (72) brown rats were recorded positive with the overall prevalence of (62.07%).A slightly higher prevalence of infection was noted in the males (63.46%) compared to the female (60.94%) rats.A slightly higher prevalence of infection was also recorded in the adults than the immature/juvenile sub-adult of the rat samples.The differences in infection rates by sex and that of adult and immature/juvenile sub-adult of the experimental brown rats were statistically insignificant (P > 0.05).But, higher prevalence of the parasites was recorded at the gut region (59.48%)than the blood (2.59%) which is statistically significant (p < 0.05).The gastrointestinal parasites were collected from the gut regions to include: stomach, small (ileum) and large intestine and rectum; while blood ones were collected from the heart of rats sampled.The parasites were recorded in accordance with the gastrointestinal parts and blood region (heart) of these brown rats.Prevalence of individual parasites species recorded from the gut regions (stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum) are: Hymenolepis diminuta (12.93%),Hymenolepis nana (7.76%), Ascaris lumbricoides (6.90%), Trachura trichuris (12.07%),Strongyloides stercoralis (14.66%),Taenia saginata (5.17%).Schistosoma haematobium (2.59%) was the only blood parasites collected from the heart.Among these parasites, Strongyloides stercoralis has the highest prevalence of (14.66%) and Schistosoma with the least (2.59%) prevalence.The infected parts of intestinal regions show symptoms of perforation and blockages by the parasites.There was significant difference (p < 0.05) between the parasite species.The abundance and prevalence of different parasites revealed in this study can pose a tremendous risk of transmitting helminthiasis and other zoonotic diseases to human population.Public lecture and enlighten campaign on the dangers of dumping garbage, refuse and sewage and should be encouraged.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
