“…Domestic animals used for meat and other products from the Mymensingh District of Bangladesh had a seroprevalence of anti-T. gondii antibodies of 12%, 32% and 40% in cattle, goats and sheep, respectively (26). In the same study, a total of 15 women were tested and all were negative for anti-T. gondii antibodies (26). In another study, sera from 205 cattle, 17 sheep and 306 goats were tested for T. gondii antibodies using a LAT (27).…”

Toxoplasmosis, a cosmopolitan zoonosis, is caused by an apicomplexan, obligate, intracellular protozoan parasite, Toxoplasma gondii. Nearly all animals, including humans, are at risk owing to its broad geographical distribution. The authors searched published data related to T. gondii in databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct for South Asian countries, and retrieved a total of 113 articles fulfilling the criterion of seroprevalence investigation. Toxoplasma gondii infection in livestock and humans was investigated using various serological tests. In these studies, a total of 14,431 samples from domestic animals and 53,899 samples from humans were screened for anti-T. gondii antibodies in all South Asian countries. Among the animals, cattle (n = 1,981), goats (n = 3,285), buffaloes (n = 1,695), sheep (n = 1,747), cats (n = 1,480), camels (n = 435), elephants (n = 45), pigs (n = 920), dogs (n = 1,604) and poultry (n = 1,206) were tested. This comprehensive review will be useful to biologists, public health workers, physicians and veterinarians and provides a better understanding of the distribution of T. gondii in this region. Furthermore, this knowledge will support efforts to find and apply effective prevention measures to better manage this zoonosis in South Asian countries.

“…Les sérums obtenus ont été conservés à -20 °C jusqu'à la réalisation des tests sérologiques. (20). Des différences géographiques de prévalence ont été observées malgré des effectifs différents, les conditions climatiques constituant un facteur important de la persistance des oocystes dans l'environnement (7, 11) après émission de ceux-ci dans les fèces des félins.…”

Une enquête de séroprévalence de la toxoplasmose ovine a été effectuée à Bobo-Dioulasso en 2010. L’objectif de l’étude a été d’évaluer la séroprévalence de la toxoplasmose chez les ovins afin de mieux estimer le risque potentiel que représente leur viande chez les consommateurs. Le test d’agglutination modifié a été utilisé pour le diagnostic sérologique et a révélé une séroprévalence de 58,8 p. 100 (227/386 ; IC à 95 p. 100 : 53,7 - 63,7 p. 100). L’augmentation de la prévalence a été corrélée à l’âge et au sexe (plus importante chez les mâles). Ces résultats indiquent que les toxoplasmes circulent dans le cheptel ovin à Bobo-Dioulasso. L’isolement de T. gondii chez les ovins avec une caractérisation moléculaire des isolats serait nécessaire pour évaluer le risque de la toxoplasmose ovine en santé humaine.
