A Review on Alaria alata, Toxoplasma gondii and Sarcocystis spp. in Mammalian Game Meat Consumed in Europe: Epidemiology, Risk Management and Future Directions

Lisa Guardone et al.

Summary: Game meat consumption is increasing in Europe, but it also poses specific public health issues. This review focuses on the risk of three parasites (Alaria alata, Toxoplasma gondii and Sarcocystis spp.) in the main game meat species, including their transmission, epidemiology, and management along the supply chain. By addressing the main issues and knowledge gaps, this study aims to contribute to improved risk analysis.

The involvement of protozoan parasites in sheep abortions - A ten-year review of diagnostic results

Sharon Tirosh-Levy et al.

Summary: Abortions in sheep flocks can have negative impacts on animal health and productivity, resulting in significant economic losses. This study focuses on the diagnosis of parasitic pathogens as the cause of ovine abortions in Israel. The serological data analysis showed high seroprevalence rates for Neospora spp. and Toxoplasma gondii, with a higher prevalence in aborting ewes for T. gondii. Additionally, the presence of anti-Neospora spp. antibodies in aborted fetuses was the most prominent finding. These results highlight the importance of Neospora spp. as a cause of abortions in sheep.

Sero-prevalence and risk factors of Toxoplasma gondii infection in wild cervids in Denmark

A. S. Stensgaard et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in Danish wild deer populations and identify risk factors associated with increased exposure to the parasite. The results showed a widespread exposure to T. gondii in Danish cervids, particularly in roe deer and red deer. Age and fencing were identified as significant risk factors. Therefore, the consumption of wild deer meat, especially from roe deer and red deer, may pose a significant risk of T. gondii infection to humans if not properly cooked.

Listeria spp. Isolated from Tonsils of Wild Deer and Boars: Genomic Characterization

Carla Palacios-Gorba et al.

Summary: This study utilized whole-genome sequencing to characterize Listeria species isolates from wild animals in Spain, revealing the presence of pathogenic Listeria and the long-term occurrence of certain genotypes within the animal population. The study emphasizes the importance of monitoring environmental contamination by Listeria species and highlights tonsils as a potential intrahost reservoir for L. monocytogenes.

Apicomplexan Protozoa Responsible for Reproductive Disorders: Occurrence of DNA in Blood and Milk of Donkeys (Equus asinus) and Minireview of the Related Literature

Stefania Perrucci et al.

Summary: This study found that healthy dairy jennies may carry potentially abortifacient apicomplexan protozoa DNA during lactation, including Theileria equi, Toxoplasma gondii, and Neospora caninum. The presence of N. caninum DNA in milk suggests a possible occurrence of an endogenous cycle in some jennies, while the presence of T. gondii DNA in milk collected at 6 and 10 months after parturition may indicate discontinuous excretion.

Comparison of Direct and Indirect Toxoplasma gondii Detection and Genotyping in Game: Relationship and Challenges

Kaya C. Stollberg et al.

Summary: The study in the Federal State of Brandenburg, Germany, revealed the presence of Toxoplasma gondii in game with the highest infection rate in wild boar. Type II specific alleles of T. gondii were the most prevalent, and a significantly higher proportion of positive qPCR results were found in 50g of heart muscle compared to 5g. Positive correlation between seropositivity and direct detection was observed in wild boar and roe deer, confirming the infectivity of T. gondii DNA-positive samples.

Salmonella enterica Subsp. houtenae Associated with an Abscess in Young Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus)

Adriana Trotta et al.

Summary: This study presented a rare case of primary extraintestinal salmonellosis in a young roe deer, associated with Salmonella enterica subsp. houtenae. Through biochemical identification, PCR testing, and whole-genome sequencing, insights into the virulence and antimicrobial resistance of S. houtenae were gained, revealing a multidrug resistance pattern and the presence of fifty-three antibiotic-resistant genes. This highlights the importance of continuous surveillance of pathogenic salmonellae and the potential benefits of biomolecular analyses combined with epidemiological data in improving animal welfare.
