“…DNA extraction and PCR amplification of 18S rRNA gene region was conducted to identify sarcocysts in positive samples in different hosts by using special primers. Other authors detected Sarcocyst species by using PCR as Hornok et al (2015) in cattle and buffalo in Hungary, Kutty et al (2015) in goat in Selangor, Malaysia and Safa et al (2016) in Tunisian cattle in North-West Tunisia.…”

evaluate the incidence of some parasitic infections (Hydatidosis, Fascioliasis, Cysticercosis and Sarcocystosis) according to seasonal variation. Otherwise, the study aimed to detect the microscopic form of sarcosystic affection in 18 esophageal samples from 6 buffalo (3 suspected and 3 apparently healthy), 3 cattle, 3 sheep, 3 goats and 3 camel by using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The incidence of hydatidosis was 18%, 0.3% and 0.5% in camel, cattle and buffalo, respectively while it couldn't be detected in young cattle, young buffalo, sheep and goat. The highest total incidence of hydatidosis was recorded in winter (13%). The incidence of fascioliasis was 0.9% in camel, 0.8% in buffalo, 1.2% in cattle and 0.1% in young cattle, but it couldn't be detected in young buffalo, sheep and goat. The cysticercosis couldn't be detected in edible offals of slaughtered animals during the period of the study. Sarcocyst fusiforms was detected in edible offals (22.9% in esophagus and 3.7% in tongue) of 62.8% of buffaloes and 0.2% of the young ones with the highest incidence (42%) was recorded in autumn. PCR reading showed that all 3 samples confirmed positive for suspected buffaloes, one of 3 samples confirmed positive for apparently healthy buffaloes, one of three samples confirmed positive for cattle, 2 of 3 samples confirmed positive for sheep, one of 3 samples confirmed positive for goat and three samples were confirmed negative for camel. The present study concluded that there is a need to educate consumers, food handlers and all others who have access to food about the importance of hygiene and it is necessary for cooking food properly.

Reports of Sarcocystis rileyi-like protozoa (‘rice breast disease’) from anseriform birds had been rare in Europe until the last two decades, when S. rileyi was identified in northern Europe and the UK. However, despite the economic losses resulting from S. rileyi infection, no recent accounts are available on its presence (which can be suspected) in most parts of central, western, southern and eastern Europe. Between 2014 and 2019, twelve mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) were observed to have rice breast disease in Hungary, and the last one of these 12 cases allowed molecular identification of S. rileyi, as reported here. In addition, S. rileyi was molecularly identified in the faeces of one red fox (Vulpes vulpes). The hunting season for mallards in Hungary lasts from mid-August to January, which in Europe coincides with the wintering migration of anseriform birds towards the south. Based on this, as well as bird ringing data, it is reasonable to suppose that the first S. rileyi-infected mallards arrived in Hungary from the north. on the other hand, red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), which are final hosts of S. rileyi, are ubiquitous in Hungary, and our molecular finding confirms an already established autochthonous life cycle of S. rileyi in the region. Taken together, this is the first evidence for the occurrence of S. rileyi in Hungary and its region.

“…Reports on Sarcocystis prevalence in cattle are lacking in most of the European countries. In contrast to the very low prevalence of Sarcocystis in the Belgian cattle, a countrywide survey performed in Hungary by conventional PCR and sequencing found 66% Sarcocystis ‐positive cattle samples at slaughter (Hornok et al., ). High Sarcocystis prevalence was also reported in Italy by Domenis et al.…”

This report of EFSA and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control presents the results of the zoonoses monitoring activities carried out in 2015 in 32 European countries (28 Member States (MS) and four non-MS). Campylobacteriosis was the most commonly reported zoonosis and the increasing European Union (EU) trend for confirmed human cases since 2008 continued. In food, the occurrence of Campylobacter remained high in broiler meat. The decreasing EU trend for confirmed human salmonellosis cases since 2008 continued, but the proportion of human Salmonella Enteritidis cases increased. Most MS met their Salmonella reduction targets for poultry. More S. Enteritidis isolates were reported and S. Infantis was confirmed as the most frequent serovar isolated from domestic fowl. In foodstuffs, the EU level Salmonella non-compliance for minced meat and meat preparations from poultry was low. Despite the significant increasing trend since 2008, the number of human listeriosis cases stabilised in 2015. In ready-to-eat foods, Listeria monocytogenes seldom exceeded the EU food safety limit. The decreasing EU trend for confirmed yersiniosis cases since 2008 continued. Positive findings for Yersinia were mainly reported in pig meat and products thereof. The number of confirmed shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections in humans was similar to 2014. In food, STEC was most frequently reported in meat from ruminants. A total of 4,362 food-borne outbreaks, including waterborne outbreaks, were reported. Bacteria were the most commonly detected causative agents, followed by bacterial toxins, viruses, other causative agents and parasites. The causative agent remained unknown in 33.5% of all outbreaks. As in previous years, Salmonella in eggs continued to represent the highest risk agent/food combination. The report further summarises trends and sources for tuberculosis due to Mycobacterium bovis, Brucella, Trichinella, Echinococcus, Toxoplasma, rabies, Coxiella burnetii (Q fever), West Nile virus and tularaemia.
