Abstract Objectives Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a parasitic disease caused by the larval stage of tapeworm Taenia solium. NCC mainly occurs in Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia can cause variety clinical signs/symptoms. Although it rare Europe, should nonetheless be considered as differential diagnosis. The aim this study was to describe characteristics management patients with diagnosed treated Europe. Methods We conducted systematic search published unpublished data on Europe...
Toxoplasmosis is a globally distributed parasitic zoonosis, affecting approximately one third of the human population. Epidemiological studies on toxoplasmosis conducted in Serbia so far have been focused women childbearing age, without clear insight into prevalence general We cross-sectional study representative sample healthy adult population consisting 1095 blood donors both genders to establish and risk factors for Toxoplasma gondii infection. Data demographic clinical characteristics...
Abstract A seroepizootiological study of Toxoplasma gondii infection involving a total 488 slaughter pigs (468 market-weight and 20 sows) in the Belgrade area, also included examination presence T. blood. Blood sampled at line was examined for specific antibodies by modified direct agglutination, blood clots those seropositive titres 1:50-1:12800 were bioassayed mice. The overall seroprevalence 9.2%, significantly higher ( p = 0.0063) sows (30.0%) than (8.3%). Amongst 22 bioassays performed,...
To assess the role of synanthropic rodents in epidemiology urban toxoplasmosis, Toxoplasma gondii infection was examined 144 rats (Rattus norvegicus) and 12 mice (Mus musculus) captured using live animal traps three locations Belgrade city characterized by poor housing degraded environment. In rats, specific IgG antibodies were detected modified agglutination test 22 (27.5%) 80 blood samples available. brain cysts microscopically 11 (7.6%), DNA real-time polymerase chain reaction...
Consumption of undercooked or insufficiently cured meat is a major risk factor for human infection with Toxoplasma gondii. Although horsemeat typically consumed rare undercooked, information on the T. gondii from infected horse to humans scarce. Here, we present results study determine presence in slaughter horses Serbia, and attempt isolate viable parasites. The included all regions Serbia slaughtered at two abattoirs between June 2013 2015. Blood sera were tested specific IgG antibodies by...
Determination of the avidity specific IgG antibodies has become a generally accepted diagnostic aid for dating Toxoplasma infection. In this study, Labsystems, VIDAS and EUROIMMUN assays were compared on series 133 IgG- IgM-positive sera from symptomatic patients (n=28), pregnant (n=43) non-pregnant (n=26) women, 18 IgG-positive IgM-negative chronically infected patients. The results showed excellent concordance between Labsystems tests in both (r=0.82, kappa=0.771) (kappa=0.609) sera,...
To determine the risk of congenital toxoplasmosis (CT) and provide early (pre- or postnatal) identification cases CT in absence systematic screening pregnancy. In presented cross-sectional study, serological criteria were used to date Toxoplasma gondii infection versus conception 80 pregnant women with fetal abnormalities referred as suspected acute infection, 16 after delivery symptomatic neonates. A combination serological, molecular (qPCR), biological (bioassay) methods was for prenatal...
ABSTRACT The effect of clindamycin (CLI) combined with autovaquone (ATO) was examined in a murine model acute toxoplasmosis. Swiss Webster mice intraperitoneally infected 10 2 or 4 tachyzoites the RH strain Toxoplasma gondii were perorally treated either drug alone (for ATO, 5, 25, 50, 100 mg/kg body weight/day; for CLI, 400 mg/kg/day) both ATO plus respectively, 5 25 50 starting day 1 14 days. Survival monitored during 7 weeks. Residual infection assessed by bioassay representative 4-week...
To identify areas of risk for canine-related zoonoses in Serbia, the aim this study was to provide baseline knowledge about intestinal parasites 151 dogs (65 household pets, 75 stray and 11 military working dogs) from Belgrade. The following parasites, with their respective prevalences, were detected: Giardia duodenalis (14.6%), Ancylostomatidae (24.5%), Toxocara canis (30.5%), Trichuris vulpis (47.0%) Taenia -type helminths (6.6%). Of all examined dogs, 75.5% (114/151) found harbour at...
