A possible explanation for the low prevalence found is that the most common diagnostic method used in the studies included in the present study was molecular tests.…”

“…Neosporosis caused by Neospora caninum (Apicomplexa, Sarcocystidae) is an infectious disease of domestic and wild animals worldwide (Nazari et al, 2023). N. caninum is similar to another known Apicomplexan parasite called Toxoplasma gondii, which is of importance in medicine and veterinary medicine (Nazari et al, 2018). Neosporosis has been considered a cause of abortion in dairy and beef cattle worldwide.…”

BackgroundNeosporosis has been considered a cause of abortion in dairy and beef cattle worldwide. Rodents are reservoir hosts for several infectious diseases. It is necessary to determine the prevalence of Neospora caninum in rodents to improve the current understanding of the transmission dynamics of Neospora as well as its life cycle and risk of transmission to livestock. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to estimate the pooled global prevalence of N. caninum in different rodent species.MethodsPublished studies on the prevalence of N. caninum in different rodent species were searched in the MEDLINE/PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar and the reference lists of the retrieved articles until July 30, 2022. The eligible studies were selected using inclusion and exclusion criteria. The extracted data were verified and analysed using the random‐effect meta‐analysis.ResultFor this meta‐analysis, a total of 4372 rodents from 26 eligible studies were included. The global prevalence of N. caninum in rodents was estimated at 5% (95% CI 2%–9%), with the highest prevalence in Asia (12%; 95% CI 6%–24%) and lowest prevalence in America (3%; 95% CI 1%–14%) and Europe (3%; 95% CI 1%–6%). N. caninum was more prevalent in females (4%; 95% CI 2%–9%) than in males (3%; 95% CI 1%–11%). The most common diagnostic test was polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (21 studies). The pooled prevalence of N. caninum in rodents based on the diagnostic method was as follows: immunohistochemistry: 11% (95% CI 6%–20%), NAT: 5% (95% CI 4%–7%), IFAT: 5% (95% CI 2%–13%) and PCR: 3% (95% CI 1%–9%).ConclusionThe results of this study showed a relatively low but widespread prevalence of N. caninum infection in rodents.

“…In today's world, various aspects of infectious diseases, such as epidemics, especially with emerging and re-emerging agents, drug resistance and infection with organisms with lesser-known effects on human cells and bodies, have brought the most significant potential risks to humanity. In the meantime, their effects on pregnant women, their fetuses, and children are much more important [ 2 , 6 , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] ].…”

Background and AimsCutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a severe parasitic disease affecting people, mostly in underdeveloped nations. As a zoonotic infection yearly incidence of CL depends on several parameters such as demographic, epidemiological, and environmental factors as well as prevention and control measures. The sudden outbreak of pandemics such as SARS‐Corona‐Virus‐2 pandemic, can probably affect the incidence or reporting of other diseases, especially infectious diseases, in various ways such as pressure on health systems, providing sanitary services and its components, lockdowns and changes in people's living habits.AimThis study aimed to evaluate the COVID‐19 impact on the incidence and other epidemiological aspects as well as control measures of CL in Ilam Province‐Iran.MethodsRequired data was extracted from the CL registration system in Ilam from 2014 to 2021 to demonstrate the trend of CL incidence before and after COVID‐19 pandemic.ResultsBased on our results, a declining pattern of CL incidence was observed, accompanied by the advent and intensification of the viral pandemic in Iran and Ilam province. Although, this decreasing pattern was not integral in all areas, and even increase in CL detection was emphasized in some regions.ConclusionIt may be inferred that the COVID‐19 pandemic may disrupt treatment programs of CL cases, rodent nest destruction, and fighting vector insects.
