Spatial epidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii infection in goats in Serbia

Abstract: Abstract.A major risk factor for Toxoplasma gondii infection is consumption of undercooked meat. Increasing demand for goat meat is likely to promote the role of this animal for human toxoplasmosis. As there are virtually no data on toxoplasmosis in goats in Serbia, we undertook a cross-sectional serological study, including prediction modelling using geographical information systems (GIS). Sera from 431 goats reared in 143 households/farms throughout Serbia, sampled between January 2010 and September 2011, we… Show more

“…The results obtained in the present study are meaningful not only because of high seropositivity, but also because of a very high proportion (61%) of strong reactions with titres 6,000 and higher. High seropositivity reported in goats worldwide (Iovu et al 2012, Djokic et al 2014 indicates that goats appear to be susceptible to T. gondii infection. Clinical toxoplasmosis with an abortion and neonatal mortality, as well as fatal cases of acute toxoplasmosis in goats were also reported (Dubey and Beattie 1988, Masala et al 2007, Mancianti et al 2013).…”

“…Discusión Se detectaron anticuerpos anti T. gondii ampliamente distribuidos en la provincia. El promedio de UPs positivas fue de 79,49%, el resultado alto y cercano al 100%, se condice a que la mayor parte de las explotaciones poseían al menos un animal positivo, este dato es concordante con la bibliografía consultada que esta resumida en la Tabla 2, donde su porcentaje varía entre 70 y 100% (Bacci et al, 2016;Djokic et al, 2014;Figliuolo et al, 2004;Gos et al, 2017;Lopes et al, 2010;Panadero et al, 2009;Rossi et al, 2011;Shuralev et al, 2018;Tzanidakis et al, 2012;Zhao et al, 2011). La seroprevalencia global 16,28% fue baja y menor que los trabajos de Rossi (2011), DJokic (2014), Bacci (2016), Gos (2017) en Buenos Aires, Lopes (2010), Panadero (2009) y Shuralev (2018.…”

“…Slosarková (1999) asocia la deficiencia de yodo y el hipotiroidismo secundario con la mayor susceptibilidad a la enfermedad y la presentación clínica de abortos en caprinos, tema importante a ser tomado en cuenta debido a la presencia de esas mismas características en la región de noroeste argentino con la tan frecuente aparición de bocio clínico en caprinos (Suarez, 2017;Suarez et al, 2015bSuarez et al, , 2015a. La presencia y el contacto directo con gatos es considerado como factor de riesgo en muchos trabajos (Cook et al, 2000;Dubey, 2000;Lopes et al, 2010;Tzanidakis et al, 2012;Djokic et al, 2014;Shuralev et al, 2018), pero finalmente el factor que produciría la infestación o la zoonosis es la contaminación del medioambiente con ooquistes y no al contacto directo con los felinos. Mientras que el contacto directo con los fluidos de un aborto o el consumo de leche cruda provocarían la transmisión del T. gondii (Tenter et al, 2000).…”
