Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic parasite of importance to both human and animal health. The has various transmission routes, the meat infected animals appears be major source infections in Europe. We aimed estimate T. prevalence selection host species. A systematic literature review resulting 226 eligible publications was carried out, serological data were analyzed using an age-dependent Bayesian hierarchical model obtain estimates for regional seroprevalence livestock, wildlife, felids....
Tick-borne diseases are of great concern worldwide. Despite this, in Romania there is only limited information regarding the prevalence vector-borne pathogens dogs. In all, 1146 serum samples were tested by SNAP® 4Dx® (IDEXX Laboratories, Inc., Westbrook, ME) for Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi, and Ehrlichia canis antibodies, Dirofilaria immitis antigen. The correlation between positive cases their geographic distribution, as well potential risk factors (age, sex, breed,...
We conducted a survey in broiler farms from Romania to establish prevalence and distribution of Eimeria species using single PCR assay. found spp. 21 (91%) out 23 flocks, 11 (92%) 12 farms. Four were identified: E. acervulina (21/23; 91%), tenella (14/23; 61%), maxima (5/23; 22%) praecox (3/23; 13%). Infection with (E. acervulina) was detected 6 (26%) infected flocks originated large Mixed infections 15 (65%) the most prevalent combination + (8/23; 35%). (17%) harboured mixed infection...
Coccidiosis represents a serious threat to the poultry industry, affecting production and causing high morbidity, mortality significant costs resulting from treatment prophylaxis. In-feed anticoccidials have been used for decades managing avian coccidiosis were very effective until drug resistance emerged. The use of natural remedies has become promising alternative in combating chickens. Therefore, purpose present study was assess efficiency commercial herbal formula (H), as oral liquid...
Currently, there are three classes of anthelmintics most commonly used in small ruminants: the benzimidazoles (BZs), macrocyclic lactones (MLs) and cholinergic agonists (especially levamisole; LEV). The widespread use those products has led to emergence drug-resistant parasite strains which represents a serious threat livestock industry. In present study, we describe for first time case resistance goats Romania. study was carried out 2021 dairy goat herd from Transylvania region. Two types...
Intensive poultry production systems depend on chemoprophylaxis with anticoccidial drugs to combat infection. A floor-pen study was conducted evaluate the effect of Artemisia annua and Foeniculum vulgare Eimeria tenella Five experimental groups were established: negative control (untreated, unchallenged); positive challenged); a group medicated 125 ppm lasalocid challenged; A. leaf powder at 1.5% in feed treated mixed oils equal parts, 7.5% water challenged. The effects oil extract + F. E....
Extensive anthelmintic (AH) use for endoparasitism prevention, especially gastrointestinal strongyle (GIS) infections, led to AH resistance (AR). This study assessed the internal parasitic profile and AR occurrence in goat herds. Five herds (H, n = 300) raised household systems Romania (2020-2021) were dewormed with eprinomectin fall (H1, H2) albendazole spring (H3-H5). Fecal samples (n 67) collected pre- 14 days post-AH administration. Coprological examinations, coprocultures, polymerase...
Abstract Background Ticks are among the most important vectors of zoonotic diseases in temperate regions Europe, with widespread distribution and high densities, posing an medical risk. Most ticks feed on a variety progressively larger hosts, large number small mammal species typically harbouring primarily immature stages. However, there certain Ixodidae that characteristically attack micromammals also during their adult stage. Rodents hosts ticks, competent reservoirs tick-borne pathogens....
A survey was conducted on chicken broiler farms from Romania in August-November 2010 to evaluate economic losses due coccidiosis. Data were collected six of different capacity regarding chemoprophylaxis program, weight gain, feed conversion, and mortality, for two previous flocks houses each farm, finally we evaluated the losses. Also, faeces samples oocysts classified according their size, virulence Eimeria spp. field isolate determined by lesion scoring. Correlations between performance,...
Abstract Background Most epidemiological studies on tick-borne pathogens involve collection of ticks from the environment. An efficient method is essential for large sample pools. Our main aim was to evaluate efficacy a new method, where traditional flagging enhanced by use CO 2 dispersed into white flannel. The spread through rubber hose network inserted flag blanket. research conducted in spring, March-April 2011 two locations Cluj County, Romania. Methods be tested contained fine silicone...
Giardia duodenalis is a parasitic protist that infects large number of species, being localized in the small intestine. Two eight recognized assemblages have zoonotic potential, but studies regarding their distribution less important pet or farm species are scarce. Of these long-tailed chinchilla host for spp., although data on spread infection and involved confined. The present work aimed to determine prevalence assemblage identification farmed chinchillas Romania. A total 341 fecal samples...
Abstract Background Giardia duodenalis is one of the most prevalent and highly diverse human parasites, encompassing a complex eight genetically distinct assemblages, each further divided into sub-assemblages. While in recent years, G. genotype distribution patterns humans have been intensely studied, there still very little information available on diversity genotypes sub-assemblages infecting people Romania. In present study, we investigated genetic asymptomatic patients from Methods Over...
