Seronegativity of Iberian ibex (Capra pyrenaica) against Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum is consistent with eco-epidemiological and environmental features in Mediterranean mountainous areas.

Knowledge of pathogen epidemiological dynamics and habitat ecological features is essential for wildlife population and health monitoring and management. Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum are two broadly distributed multi-host parasites that affect both wild and domestic animals and, in the case of T. gondii, cause zoonosis.

A combination of GRA3, GRA6 and GRA7 peptides offer a useful tool for serotyping type II and III infections in sheep and pigs.

The clinical consequences of toxoplasmosis are greatly dependent on the strain causing the infection. To better understand its epidemiology and design appropriate control strategies, it is important to determine the strain present in infected animals. Serotyping methods are based on the detection of antibodies that react against segments of antigenic proteins presenting strain-specific polymorphic variations, offering a cost-effective, sensitive, and non-invasive alternative to genotyping techniques.

Transcriptomics of -Infected Fibroblasts Reveals Hallmarks of Early Fibrosis and Cancer Progression.

Endothelial injury, inflammatory infiltrate and fibrosis are the predominant lesions in the testis of bulls with besnoitiosis that may result in sterility. Moreover, fibroblasts, which are key players in fibrosis, are parasite target cells in a chronic infection. This study aimed to decipher the molecular basis that underlies a drift toward fibrosis during the disease progression.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the validation of serological methods for detecting anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in humans and animals.

Toxoplasma gondii is a paradigmatic zoonotic parasite from the One Health perspective, since it is broadly distributed and virtually infects all warm-blooded species. A wide variety of serological techniques have been developed to detect T. gondii infection in humans and animals.

Anti- Antibodies in European Residents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Studies Published between 2000 and 2020.

Toxoplasmosis has a major impact on animal and public health. Information regarding the seroprevalence of human infections from a European perspective has not yet been compiled to date. Thus, the present review summarized available resident data from the period 2000-2020.
