- - In Egypt, pork production is mostly done on a small scale in backyards without proper sanitary measures, which can lead to exposure to harmful pathogens in pigs.
- - A study conducted at Cairo's only licensed pig abattoir tested 332 serum samples and found a significant presence of food-borne zoonotic parasites, with specific seroreactivities noted for various parasites.
- - The research revealed varying levels of seroprevalence based on location in Cairo and found that female pigs had a higher rate of certain antibodies compared to males, marking the first seroprevalence report for these parasites in Egyptian pigs.
Toxoplasmosis, neosporosis, and brucellosis are devastating diseases causing infectious abortion and, therefore, substantial economic losses in farm animals. Toxoplasmosis and neosporosis are caused by the intracellular protozoan parasites () and (), respectively. Brucellosis is a bacterial disease caused by numerous species in multiple hosts.
