Molecular and serological prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii and Anaplasma spp. infection in goats from Chongqing Municipality, China

Abstract: Toxoplasmosis and anaplasmosis are severe zoonotic diseases, the former caused by Toxoplasma gondii and the latter by Anaplasma spp. In the present study, 332 goat blood samples were randomly collected from Chongqing Municipality, China to screen for T. gondii and Anaplasma spp. We used a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect DNA, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to test for T. gondii antibodies. The prevalence of T. gondii and Anaplasma spp. was 38% and 35% respectively by PCR, and 42% for T.… Show more

“…Among these, A. capra, A. phagocytophilum, and A. ovis are tick-borne zoonotic pathogens that are significant for public health (Chochlakis et al, 2010;Li et al, 2015;Lee et al, 2018), they have been detected in many domestic and wild animals across the world (Kawahara et al, 2006;Seo et al, 2018b;Yang et al, 2018b;Cabezas-Cruz et al, 2019). Additionally, recent reports have presented evidence of co-infection with two or more Anaplasma species in cattle, sheep, goats, and ixodid ticks worldwide (Rjeibi et al, 2018;Seo et al, 2018b;Wang et al, 2018;Zhou et al, 2018;Han et al, 2019). It is thus important to detect several Anaplasma species in a single DNA sample by using a single PCR reaction.…”

“…La seroprevalencia total del 39 % para T. gondii hallada en cabras del país es similar a la que reportó anteriormente Unzaga et al (1999) en Argentina pero analizando un menor número de animales (85/218= 38,9 %). En el mundo, el valor de seroprevalencia hallado se encuentra cercano a los de la mayoría de los países de Asia: 43,9 % en Rusia (Shuralev et al, 2018), 42,8 % en Pakistán (Ahmed et al, 2016), 42,5 % en China (Zhou et al, 2018), 35,5 % en Malasia (Chandrawathani et al, 2008), 30 % en Irán (Sharif et al, 2007) y 27,9 % en Tailandia (Jittapalong et al, 2005), aunque valores menores se encontraron en Birmania (11,4 %;Bawm et al, 2016) y Corea (6,8 %;Jung et al, 2014) Barakat et al, 2009).…”

“…Asimismo, Djorkic et al (2014) hallaron una de las seroprevalencias más altas en el mundo (73,3 %) y determinaron que existió correlación entre la seropositividad de las cabras con las lluvias abundantes en algunas regiones de Serbia. En China, la mayor seroprevalencia fue determinada por Zhou et al (2018) concluyendo que la humedad de la región explicaría las diferencias con los resultados obtenidos en estudios realizados en otras regiones del mismo país (Li et al, 2016;Miao et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2011;Xu et al, 2015;Zhao et al, 2011). Wang et al (2011) detectaron una seroprevalencia del 3,8 % en la provincia más fría de China, explicando que probablemente los ooquistes no podrían sobrevivir los 6 meses de estación de invierno por las temperaturas bajas extremas.…”
