“…However, several studies have been carried out as regards the prevalence of L. serrata infection in animals including, dogs (Meshgi & Asgarian, 2003;Oryan et al, 2008), camels (Pourjafar et al, 2007;Tajik et al, 2007;Shakerian et al, 2008;Oryan et al, 2011), buffaloes (Tajik et al, 2008;Rezaei et al, 2011), sheep Nourollahi Fard et al, 2011), cattle (Hami et al, 2009;Nourollahi Fard et al, 2010a) and goats Nourollahi Fard et al, 2010b) in many parts of Iran, but the incidence of L. serrata in herbivores in western Iran is practically unknown.…”

Linguatulosis is one of the important zoonotic diseases that cause public health problems worldwide. This study was carried out from March 2014 to February 2015 to estimate the prevalence of nymphal stages of Linguatula serrata in ruminants of different sex and age slaughtered at the Kermanshah municipal abattoir, in western Iran. For this purpose, the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) were examined grossly and three MLNs for each animal were collected for parasitological and pathological studies. Of the total of 456 sheep (252 ♂ and 204 ♀), 390 goats (215 ♂ and 175 ♀) and 412 cattle (255 ♂ and 157 ♀), 90 (19.7%), 98 (25.1%) and 53 (12.8%) were infected with nymph stages of L. serrata, respectively. A significant difference in the prevalence of linguatulosis was observed among studied animals (P<0.05) and the highest and lowest prevalence were detected in goats and cattle, respectively. Prevalence of L. serrata nymphs in males and females was not significantly different (P>0.05). The prevalence increased with age (P<0.05). Grossly, the infected MLNs were enlarged, and their cross-sectional areas were coarse, firm, granulated, oedematous, and red in colour. Necrosis, oedema, haemorrhages, depletion of the lymphocytes and granulomatous reactions which are characterised by infiltration of mononuclear inflammatory cell around the parasite were the main histopathological lesions. These results indicated the high prevalence of L. serrata infection in livestock animals in Kermanshah. Furthermore, this study provides a preliminary baseline data for the future monitoring of this potentially important parasitic disease. The potential importance of these findings to human health is discussed.

“…The evaluation of the lanes containing somatic protein of L. serrata nymphs isolated from mesenteric lymph nodes of goats and cattle revealed six (14.4, 32, 36, 48, 75 and 100 kDa) and seven (14.4, 32, 36, 48, 75 (Tajik et al, 2006). Moreover, a prevalence of 16.22% and 49.1% in mesenteric lymph nodes from cattle and goats respectively was reported in Kerman (Nourollahi Fard et al, 2010;2012). In the present study, prevalence rates of 92.3% and 50% were observed in goat and cattle mesenteric lymph nodes respectively.…”

SummaryHajipour, N., M. Tavassoli, H. Tayefi-Nasrabadi & Sh. Seyedi, 2016. Comparative evaluation of somatic proteins of the nymphal stage of Linguatula serrata isolated from goats and cattle in Northwest Iran. Bulg. J. Vet. Med.,19, No 3,[242][243][244][245][246] Because the nymphal stages of L. serrata isolated from different animals have different strains, it was assumed that their somatic proteins would be different. The present study was conducted to evaluate and characterise the somatic proteins of L. serrata nymphs, isolated from goats and cattle mesenteric lymph nodes. Nymphs were collected from the infected mesenteric lymph nodes of slaughtered cattle and goats. Somatic proteins were prepared by homogenising nymphs and then were electrophoresed using SDS-PAGE. Following SDS-PAGE, somatic proteins of the nymphal stage of L. serrata in our samples were characterised by the presence of 6 protein bands with molecular weights of 14.4, 32, 36, 48, 75 and 100 kDa in goats and 7 protein bands with molecular weights of 14.4, 32, 36, 48, 75, 100 and 120 kDa in cattle. The evaluation of somatic proteins showed slight differences in the mesenteric lymph nodes of goats and cattle. The findings of this study can be used both for further evaluation of their antigenicity for diagnostic purposes and for development of protective vaccines.

“…Extensive research has also evaluated the prevalence of L. serrata infection in dogs (Oryan et al, 2008), camels (Haddadzadeh et al, 2009;Radfar et al, 2010), buffaloes (Tajik and Jalali, 2010), sheep (Nourollahifard et al, 2011;Azizi et al, 2015;Kheirabadi et al, 2015), cattle (Youssefi and Hadizadeh-Moalem, 2010), and goats (Nourollahifard et al, 2010a;Kheirabadi et al, 2014) in different regions of Iran. There are no published data on linguatulosis in animals from Northwest of Iran.…”

ABSTRACT.Linguatula serrata is an aberrant cosmopolitan parasite, which inhabits the canine respiratory system (final host). The domestic ruminants such as sheep, goats, cattle and buffaloes (intermediate hosts) play the important role for transmission of parasite to humans and animals. The current investigation aimed to investigate the prevalence of L. serrata infection in domestic ruminants in Meshkin Shahr, Northwest of Iran. In cross-sectional study between March 2013 and March 2014, the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) of 753 sheep, 403 goats, 657 cattle, and 341 buffaloes were sampled in Meshkin Shahr slaughterhouse, randomly. All of samples were examined for L. serrata infection using parasitology methods. The prevalence rate was reported 26.30% in goats, 18.32% in sheep, 14.30% in cattle, and 13.19% in buffaloes (P<0.05). In all animals, a significant difference were found between infection rate and different seasons (P<0.05), opposite to different age groups. Also, there was significant differences between infection rate and gender in cattle (P=0.024, OR=1.6) and buffaloes (P=0.034, OR=2), unlike to sheep and goats (P>0.05). This study was demonstrated of linguatulosis in domestic ruminants from Northwest of Iran for first time. According to our findings, Meshkin Shahr is a new endemic region for L. serrata infection in Iran. Since the linguatulosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease, preventive measures to break the parasite's life cycle and reduce the risk of infection in humans and animals is highly recommended.
