“…Brain tissues of 70 different rodent species (Persian jird ( Meriones persicus ): 50, gray dwarf hamster ( Cricetulus migratorius ): 9, and house mouse ( Mus musculus ): 11) were evaluated for N. caninum infection using molecular methods in Meshkin-Shahr district, Northwest Iran. All of the examined rodents were negative (Nazari et al 2019 ) similar to Khani ( 2016 ), who investigated on N. caninum infection in rodents that were captured from dairy farms in Arak, Central Iran. In another research from Meshkin-Shahr by Nazari et al ( 2020 ), antibodies to N. caninum were detected 12.9% in Persian jird, 20% in gray dwarf hamster, and 39% in house mouse using the indirect fluorescence antibody test (IFAT); a significant correlation ( P = 0.002) was seen among the seroprevalence rate and different species of rodents.…”

Neospora caninum infection in Iran (2004–2020): A review

Knowledge on neosporosis and associated risk factors in different species of animals are so important for designing the control programs and reduce the economic losses globally. This literature review targeted for evaluating the infection rate of Neospora caninum in animals in Iran. Until April 2020, all of published documents in the main English and Persian-language databases were searched. A total number of 110 documents (English = 85 and Persian = 25) were extracted. Most of reports were seroepidemiological studies using ELISA in Iranian cattle population. The range of Neospora infection was 3.8-76.2% in cattle, 0-54.6% in dogs, 0.9-9.9% in sheep, 6.2% in goats, 19.2-55.9% in buffaloes, 20-42.2% in horses, 52% in donkeys, 3.2-27% in camels, 14% and 19% in cats, and 0-20.4% in rodents. This rate in birds was 17.3% in chicken, 9.8% and 30.4% in pigeons, 2.8% and 3.7% in sparrows, and 9.9% in hooded crows. This is a comprehensive literature review on Neospora infection in Iran at the first time. The infection of N. caninum is widespread in Iran especially in dogs and cattle population. This review can provide baseline information for future research. Study on other hosts especially on wild and exotic animals is recommended for exact estimate of neosporosis in Iran. Investigations into molecular diagnosis and genotyping of N. caninum strains are also needed; this will be helpful for developing vaccines and finding the connection among wild and domestic cycles of disease. Education on the risk factors associated with N. caninum infection for is suggested farmers and rural public.

“…Taleqan County is a common passageway of wolves, jackals, foxes, otters, and stray dogs [ 41 ]. Rodents could play the role of intermediate and paratenic hosts for parasites that infect these carnivores, including the important zoonotic agents of Toxoplasmosis, Hydatidosis, and Toxocariasis [ 42 – 44 ]. Therefore, monitoring of such parasites in rodents and control of them could reduce the risks for human and veterinary public health.…”

Objectives Rodents play an important role to spread zoonotic diseases through society. The current study was carried out to collect informative data on the intestinal helminthic infections of wild rodents in Taleqan County, Alborz Province, the center of Iran, emphasizing their zoonotic aspects. Results Sixty-two killed rodents by local farmers belonging to five species were collected, among which 24 were identified as Mus musculus, 15 as Meriones persicus, 12 as Meriones libycus, 10 as Apodemus witherbyi, and 1 as Dryomys nitedula. Of them, 30 (48.4%) were infected with at least one helminth species. Rodents were infected with Hymenolepis diminuta (42%), Syphacia obvelata (21%), Hymenolepis nana (17.7%), Heligmosomoides polygyrus (9.6%), Trichuris muris (8%), and as well as a capillariid nematode that was isolated for the first time from D. nitedula in Iran. The findings of the present study revealed a significant intestinal helminthic infection of rodents in Taleqan County. Improving hygiene practices, and making a preventive attitude can be helpful to reduce the hazards of rodent-borne diseases in the area where humans, livestock, and synanthropic rodents are living close to each other.
