Epidemiologic significance ofToxoplasma gondiiinfections in chickens (Gallus domesticus): the past decade

Abstract: Toxoplasma gondii infections are common in humans and animals worldwide. Domestic free-range chickens (Gallus domesticus) are excellent sentinels of environmental contamination with T. gondii oocysts because they feed on the ground. Chickens can be easily infected with T. gondii; however, clinical toxoplasmosis is rare in these hosts. Chickens are comparatively inexpensive and thus are good sentinel animals for T. gondii infections on the farms. Here, the authors reviewed prevalence, the persistence of infecti… Show more

“…Estimation of oocyst contamination of the environment is difficult because of low numbers present in soil or water (Lélu et al , 2012). Wild and domestic birds are excellent sentinels of environmental contamination with T. gondii oocysts because herbivorous birds feed on the ground, and birds of prey consume hundreds of rodents and other small mammals yearly that are important intermediate hosts of T. gondii (Dubey et al , 2020; Iemmi et al , 2020). Migratory birds (penguins, geese and others) can transport the parasite across seas (Sandström et al , 2013).…”

“…Other prominent diseases appear in a variety of clusters; toxoplasmosis, for example, emerges in a cluster associated with the prevalence of parasites. This clearly reflects the global effort in Toxoplasma research to define the population structure by sampling a wide variety of hosts including chickens (Dubey et al ., 2020). The kinetoplastids ( Leishmania and Trypansosoma ) also feature predominantly in the performance data; this covers a wide range of areas such as differentiation, immunology (through the Dendritic Cell cluster), drug development and the Cardiomyopathy cluster that is closely linked to T. cruzi (González-Alcaide et al ., 2018).…”
