Seroprevalence of Specific Antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum, and Brucella spp. in Sheep and Goats in Egypt

Ragab M. Fereig et al.

Summary: Toxoplasmosis, neosporosis, and brucellosis are common diseases causing infectious abortion and economic losses in farm animals. The study in Egypt found the highest seroprevalence rate for T. gondii in sheep and goats, with only antibodies to Brucella spp. associated with recent abortion. These findings could guide the development of more efficient control measures.

Prevalence of Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii Antibodies and DNA in Raw Milk of Various Ruminants in Egypt

Ragab M. Fereig et al.

Summary: The prevalence of antibodies to Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii in raw milk samples from different ruminants and Egyptian governorates was estimated. The study found a seroprevalence of 15.4% for both N. caninum and T. gondii antibodies in bulk milk samples, and 25.7% and 14% for individual milk samples, respectively. The presence of DNA was also detected for both parasites. Pearson correlation analysis showed a strong correlation between bulk and individual samples for T. gondii and a moderately strong correlation for N. caninum.
