A serological survey of infection in sheep and goat from Benin, West-Africa.

is a parasitic protozoan, the etiological agent of toxoplasmosis, a worldwide zoonosis responsible for abortion and congenital malformation in animal and human. The present study reports, for the first time, the occurrence of infection among sheep and goats from Benin. A total of 368 small ruminants: 215 serum samples from sheep raised in Sahelian area of North Benin and 153 serum samples from goats raised in a family farm from South-Benin, were collected and screened for anti- IgG antibodies by the ELISA-indirect method.

infection in meat animals from Africa: Systematic review and meta-analysis of sero-epidemiological studies.

Aim: is an ubiquitous apicomplexan parasite which causes toxoplasmosis in humans and animals. Felids especially cats are definitive hosts and almost all warm-blooded mammals, including livestock and human can serve as intermediate hosts. Food animals can be reservoirs for and act as one of the sources for parasite transmission to humans.
