Comparative craniometric measurements of two Canid species in Egypt: the Egyptian red fox and the Egyptian Baladi dog

Mohamed A. A. Mahdy et al.

Summary: This study compared the craniometric measurements of Egyptian red fox and Baladi dog skulls and found significant differences in size and shape between the two species. Certain measurements also showed that the domestic dog had superior values compared to the red fox, providing valuable information for ecological studies, comparative anatomy, and veterinary sciences.

Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum in camels recently imported to Egypt from Sudan and a global systematic review

Ragab M. Fereig et al.

Summary: The seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum in recently imported camels from Sudan was investigated. The study found significant differences in infection rates between the two study sites and/or sampling periods. Additionally, a systematic review revealed the overall seroprevalence of T. gondii and N. caninum in camels worldwide.

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.

Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum Antibodies in Dogs and Cats from Egypt and Risk Factor Analysis

Dina B. Salama et al.

Summary: This study investigated the infection rates of Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum in dogs and cats in Egypt. The results showed that 23.3% of dogs were exposed to T. gondii, while 5.8% had N. caninum-specific antibodies. In cats, the exposure rate to T. gondii was 9.8%, and 3.4% had N. caninum-specific antibodies. Factors such as age and breed were significantly associated with T. gondii antibody positivity in dogs.

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.
