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....
According to the International Commission on Trichinellosis survey in 2004, Romania has most cases of trichinellosis world. Epidemiologic data for each county were collected and analyzed from two different time periods: before (1980-1989) after (1990-2004) political changes. Data separately Transylvania rest Romanian counties. During past 25 years, 28,293 human reported with an incidence 51.0 per 10(6) persons year. An important increase was observed 1980 1989 compared 1990-2004 period. For...
SUMMARY The aim of this study was to assess the seroprevalence Toxoplasma gondii parasite in pork produced France, and determine infection risk factors. An innovative survey designed based on annual numbers slaughtered pigs from intensive outdoor farms France. A total 1549 samples cardiac fluids were collected pig hearts using a Modified Agglutination Test. Of those, 160 bio-assayed mice isolate live parasites. overall among fattening 2·9%. adjusted 3·0%; highest sows (13·4%); 2·9% 2·6%...
Ingestion of undercooked meat has been proposed as an important source human Toxoplasma gondii infection. To ascertain the contribution consumption to risk infection, estimates prevalence infection in meat-producing animals are required. A cross-sectional study was conducted assess T. pigs raised England, identify factors for and compare performance two serological tests: modified agglutination test (MAT) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Blood samples from 2071 slaughter...
Infection by Toxoplasma gondii postnatally can occur after ingestion of contaminated meat or water (tissue cysts/oocysts). In Europe, percentage borne infections is estimated between 30 and 63 %, out which pork makes the most important source. The aim this study was to (i) investigate seroprevalence T. in intensive pig farms from western France; (ii) identify risk factors associated with seropositivity.Data were collected November 2006 February 2008 60 farrow-to-finish farms, where sera...
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...
In France, the consumption of cattle and sheep meat appears to be a risk factor for infection pregnant women with Toxoplasma gondii. Several nation-wide surveys in France have investigated prevalence T. gondii pig meat, but little is known at present about parasite beef. The main objective cross-sectional survey was estimate seroprevalence beef consumed France. A secondary attempt isolate from tissues study geographical age variations this seroprevalence. overall bovine carcasses (n = 2912),...
Three expression cDNA libraries from Trichinella spiralis worms 14 h, 20 h and 48 post-infection (p.i.) were screened with serum pigs experimentally infected 20,000 T. muscle larvae. Twenty-nine positive clones isolated the p.i. library, corresponding to 8 different genes. A putative excretory-secretory protein similar that of pseudospiralis was identified. corresponded a serine proteinase inhibitor known be involved in diverse functions such as blood coagulation modulation inflammation....
A total of 16 Taenia multiceps isolates collected from naturally infected sheep or goats in Gansu Province, China were characterized by sequences mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene. The complete cox1 gene was amplified for individual T. PCR, ligated to pMD18T vector, and sequenced. Sequence analysis indicated that out 10 unique 1,623 bp obtained with sequence variation 0.12-0.68%. results showed the highly conserved among examined isolates. However, they quite different...
Toxoplasma gondii (Nicolle et Manceaux, 1908) is an obligate intracellular, parasitic protozoan within the phylum Apicomplexa that causes toxoplasmosis in mammalian hosts (including humans) and birds.Since meat of wild boar, Sus scrofa (Linnaeus), has been demonstrated to be a potential source human infection, careful evaluation prevalence infection with T. hunted animals needed protect public health.In Var area southeastern France, we performed spatio-temporal survey order investigate IgG...
The intake of Toxoplasma gondii tissue cysts through raw or undercooked pork meat is one the main infection sources for humans. Thus, surveillance recommended to control and prevent in domestic pigs. However, lack comparative studies hampers updating their performance comparison seroprevalence data. Therefore, aim this study was develop validate three in-house tests accomplish a analysis most widely used serological employed A panel sera from pigs experimentally infected with either oocysts...
A new high-resolution next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based method was established to type closely related European II Toxoplasma gondii strains.
Alternative pig farms, which do not raise animals in closed buildings with slatted and/or concrete floors, have critical points that need particular attention. Internal parasitism is one, as the farming conditions such structures are more favorable to development and survival of parasites. The objectives this study, carried out on 70 alternative farms continental France, were (i) estimate frequency level infestation by main internal parasites these (ii) define their typology according...
