1. A Preliminary Field Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Spiramycin and Paromomycin Against Cattle Cryptosporidiosis.
PMID:日期:2026-09-24Cryptosporidium is responsible not only for large economic losses in the livestock sector, but also for high mortality in infants and immunocompromised people all over the world. Although multiple treatments have been tested in both animals and humans, no drug has yet been found to be 100% effective. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of different treatments, previously used in humans, against cryptosporidiosis in calves. Faecal samples were collected twice a week for 4 consecutive weeks from a total of 83 animals divided into different experimental groups: control group (no treatment) (C), group treated with spiramycin (S), group treated with paromomycin (P) and group treated with the combination of spiramycin and paromomycin (SP). After concentration by ether sedimentation and subsequent Kinyoun staining, stool samples were analysed to estimate the number of oocysts excreted. In addition, different clinical symptoms, such as the type of diarrhoea, the level of dehydration, etc., were evaluated. The control group had higher levels of oocyst excretion than treated groups. Besides, both spiramycin and paromomycin given alone or in combination delayed the peak oocyst excretion and improved symptomatology. Between the two drugs, paromomycin seems to be more effective, but spiramycin administered alone also had an effective impact, so it may be an alternative treatment for cryptosporidiosis in calves in case of resistance to other drugs.

2. Minor Risk to Contract Metazoan Parasites via the Consumption of Edible Snails, Born and Reared in France.
PMID:日期:2026-09-16In a context of food security of animal consumption and diversification of protein sources, we have studied the risks to contract metazoan parasites through the consumption of 'gros-gris' snails (Cornu aspersum maximum) sampled in 12 French farms. The dissection of 361 adult snails, born and reared in France, revealed a very low parasite prevalence of 0.55% [Confidence interval: 0.15%-2.00%]. Each of the two parasitized snails harboured a single larva of the trematode Brachylaima at the metacercarial stage in its kidney. For its development, Brachylaima requires the presence of both terrestrial gastropods (first and second intermediate hosts) and vertebrates (definitive hosts) such as rodents and birds which faeces contain parasite' eggs. As for these vertebrate hosts, humans can be infected through the ingestion of parasitized snails and then harboured the parasite at an adult stage in the intestine, which could lead to digestive pathology. Our preliminary results suggest however very limited parasitological risks of the consumption of snails if they are born and reared in France, contrarily to wild snails from the subspecies C. aspersum aspersum ('petit-gris'), frequently found infected not only by Brachylaima, but also by nematodes and mites. In order to avoid snail contamination in helicicultures as much as possible, we recommend preventing intrusion of vertebrates, potentially parasitized, in the parks.

3. Zoonotic Sarcocystis hominis and Sarcocystis heydorni in a Bovine Carcass: First Report in Portugal.
PMID:日期:2026-09-16During routine meat inspection, eosinophilic myositis-like lesions were detected in the masseter muscles of a 55-month-old bovine, leading to partial condemnation of the head. The lesions appeared as multiple round, yellowish-green areas, suggestive of a parasitic aetiology. Histopathological and molecular analyses were performed, and PCR sequencing identified Sarcocystis hominis, S. cruzi and S. heydorni. Of these, S. hominis and S. heydorni are zoonotic. Humans may acquire infection by consuming raw or undercooked beef containing viable sarcocysts. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of zoonotic Sarcocystis in cattle in Portugal. These findings underscore the importance of meat inspection as a tool for active surveillance and for protecting both animal and public health.

4. Short Report: First Outbreak of Atlantic Rainforest Spotted Fever in North-Eastern of Brazil-Clinical Features and Eco-Epidemiological Investigation.
PMID:日期:2026-09-15Since 2010, six cases of Atlantic rainforest spotted fever (ARSF) have been confirmed and reported in Brazil, a tick-borne disease caused by Rickettsia parkeri strain Atlantic rainforest and associated with the tick Amblyomma ovale. So far, none of the cases have been associated with death. One of the cases occurred in 2018 in the municipality of Ilhéus, Bahia state, that is in Atlantic Forest Biome. In this study, we report the first confirmed outbreak of ARSF in Brazil, with three new cases associated with tick bites when entering Atlantic Forest areas in the same municipality, from March 11 to April 4, 2025. Scab samples from inoculation eschars of three patients presenting post-tick-bite symptoms were collected for molecular analysis targeting a fragment of the ompA gene of R. parkeri, followed by DNA sequencing. Paired serum samples (acute and convalescent phases) were evaluated by immunofluorescence assay (IFA) against R. parkeri antigens. Additionally, small mammals were captured using Sherman and Tomahawk traps during the same period in the exposure sites to evaluate tick infestation dynamics and species. All patients developed symptoms 7-10 days after the bite, including inoculation eschar with progressive enlargement, exanthema, regional lymphadenopathy, fever, myalgia, and prostration; all responded to doxycycline treatment. Molecular analysis confirmed the presence of R. parkeri strain Atlantic rainforest DNA in all scab samples. Seroconversion (IgG) to R. parkeri was demonstrated in two patients. A total of 10 immature A. ovale ticks (larvae and nymphs) were collected parasitizing the wild cricetid rodents Hylaeamys seuanezi (three individuals) and Thaptomys nigrita (one individual) in the outbreak area. This report demonstrates three new confirmed cases and the first reported cluster of ARSF in Brazil, confirmed by laboratorial criteria, including molecular analyses, demonstrating the potential of the southern region of Bahia for transmission of R. parkeri, thus making it an endemic area for the disease.

5. First Report of Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Encephalitozoon spp. and Blastocystis spp. in Hair Goats in Türkiye.
PMID:日期:2026-09-15Blastocystis spp., Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon spp. are prevalent zoonotic gastrointestinal parasites that cause severe diarrhoea and enteric diseases in humans and animals worldwide. This study investigated the molecular occurrence, genetic diversity and zoonotic potential of E. bieneusi, Blastocystis spp. and Encephalitozoon spp. in domestic hair goats in Central Anatolia. A total of 300 faecal samples were collected from hair goats in Kayseri, Aksaray and Sivas Provinces and genomic DNA was extracted from these samples. The presence of the three pathogens was detected using PCR and nested PCR targeting the SSU rRNA for Blastocystis spp., the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) for E. bieneusi and Encephalitozoon spp., respectively. Positive PCR products were sequenced to determine the species, subtypes and genotypes of the pathogens. The overall prevalence rates of E. bieneusi and Blastocystis spp. were 5.3% (16/300) and 6.7% (20/300), respectively. None of the faecal samples tested was positive for Encephalitozoon spp. and no co-infections among these three pathogens were detected. The SSU rRNA sequence analysis revealed Blastocystis spp. ST10, a subtype predominantly associated with animals. Additionally, one known E. bieneusi genotype (BEB6) was identified. The BEB6 genotype falls into zoonotic Group 2 of E. bieneusi in the phylogenetic tree. Our study is the first report of Blastocystis spp. and E. bieneusi infection in hair goats in Türkiye, highlighting their potential role in zoonotic transmission within a One Health framework. Our results provide scientific data for the prevention and control of these two intestinal pathogens. Further investigations are necessary to better understand their genetic characteristics and zoonotic potential in Türkiye.

6. Epidemiological Surveillance of the Zoonotic Rat Lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis) in Rats in Mainland Spain.
PMID:日期:2026-09-10Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) and black rats (Rattus rattus) are the definitive hosts and primary reservoirs of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, an emerging zoonotic parasite globally considered the leading cause of human eosinophilic meningoencephalitis. A. cantonensis surveillance in rodent populations in Europe has been conducted in restricted geographic areas, but large-scale epidemiological studies remain lacking. We aimed to determine the prevalence of A. cantonensis in rat populations across mainland Spain and assess the spatial distribution of the parasite. A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted between 2022 and 2025, comprising a total of 407 individuals (244 Norway rats and 163 black rats). During necropsy, cardiopulmonary tissues were systematically collected and examined under a stereomicroscope for the presence of adult A. cantonensis. In addition, a nested molecular technique was performed to confirm the taxonomic identity of adult nematodes visualized during stereomicroscopic examination. Cardiopulmonary dissection revealed that only two individuals out of 407 (0.5%; 95% CI: 0.1-1.8), both black rats (Rattus rattus) from Valencia (eastern mainland Spain), harboured adult nematodes morphologically compatible with A. cantonensis in the heart. These parasites were successfully sequenced and molecularly confirmed as A. cantonensis, exhibiting 100% nucleotide identity with A. cantonensis sequences previously reported from gastropods in Spain and the USA. These findings evidence a localized distribution of A. cantonensis in rats across mainland Spain. Nevertheless, conducting continuous One Health surveillance of A. cantonensis in Europe is essential to fully understand the epidemiology of this parasite and to assess the associated potential public health risks across the continent.

7. Molecular Detection of Sarcocystis suihominis and Sarcocystis miescheriana in Wild Boars Hunted for Human Consumption in Poland Highlights a Potential Risk for the Consumer.
PMID:日期:2026-09-07Wild boars and domestic pigs can act as intermediate hosts for two Sarcocystis species: Sarcocystis miescheriana and the zoonotic Sarcocystis suihominis. Humans become infected with S. suihominis by eating raw or undercooked meat. Herein we investigated the occurrence of Sarcocystis spp. in wild boars hunted for human consumption in Poland. Diaphragms were collected from 241 wild boars during two hunting seasons; a multiplex-PCR protocol targeting the mtDNA cox1 gene of S. miescheriana and S. suihominis was applied; diaphragm samples testing positive for S. suihominis underwent sarcocysts isolation and molecular characterization. Out of 241 wild boars, 216 (90%) revealed the presence of S. miescheriana DNA, including eight (3.3%) co-infected with S. suihominis. The diaphragms of three wild boars testing positive for S. suihominis and S. miescheriana were further processed, yielding 37 sarcocysts. Two out of 37 isolated sarcocysts tested positive for S. suihominis and were further molecularly characterized, showing 98.9%-100% identity on the 18S rRNA gene and 98.7% identity on the cox1 mtDNA gene with S. suihominis. Thirteen of the remaining sarcocysts were molecularly characterized, leading to the identification of S. miescheriana in 12 cysts; one out of the 13 sarcocysts yielded a 1053 bp cox1 mtDNA sequence and a 923 bp 18S rDNA sequence showing < 89.1% and 95.6% homology, respectively, with any known Sarcocystis species. This is the first study identifying Sarcocystis spp. circulating in wild boars intended for human consumption in Poland, revealing a non-negligible rate of infection with the zoonotic S. suihominis, a high rate of infection with S. miescheriana and the presence of a putative new Sarcocystis sp. Our study highlights that the risk for the consumers of undercooked wild boar meat cannot be excluded.

8. Evidence of West Nile Virus Infections in Wild Boars (Sus scrofa) in the Netherlands, 2018-2021.
PMID:日期:2026-09-06Orthoflaviviruses are emerging in Europe and have potential significant impact on animal and public health. Usutu virus (USUV) and West Nile virus (WNV) have been first detected in the Netherlands in 2016 and 2020, respectively. Wild boars (Sus scrofa) have been suggested as an interesting population to detect the circulation of orthoflaviviruses. We aim to provide epidemiological insights of USUV and WNV infections in wild boars in the Netherlands. We further explore the interpretation of serological results, taking into account cross-reactivity patterns. A total of 1504 wild boar sera from 2018 to 2021 were tested using a screening ELISA. Positive samples were confirmed using Virus Neutralization Tests. We explain the observed serology of the individuals with a 3-level Bayesian hierarchical model. We found evidence for WNV infections in boars throughout the study period, with probabilities of past infections ranging from 7.82% in 2020 up to 13.02% in 2019. Our results show a declining trend in past USUV infections over the four-year study period from 24.00% in 2018 to 5.37% in 2021. Furthermore, we estimate direct and cross-reactive titre responses to both viruses, including the probability of developing a cross-reactive response. This study indicates that WNV infections in wild boars occurred before the first human cases were detected in 2020. Surveillance of orthoflaviviruses in wild boars could provide a convenient method to monitor mosquito-borne viruses such as WNV and USUV.

10. Silent Circulation of Spotted Fever Group - Like Rickettsia Among Asymptomatic Border Personnel in the Eastern Himalaya.
PMID:日期:2026-08-23Rickettsial infections are usually investigated in febrile patients, whereas molecular evidence from clinically asymptomatic populations remains limited. In this study, we screened 50 apparently healthy adult male Indo-Tibetan Border Police personnel stationed in Dirang, West Kameng district, Arunachal Pradesh, during December 2025. Of the 50 individuals, 27 (54.0%) were positive by nested gltA PCR and by TaqMan real-time PCR. A subset of 15/27 (55.6%) were additionally positive for 17 kDa. None reported fever, rash, eschar, lymphadenopathy, or hospitalization around sampling and/or during follow-ups. Sequencing placed the gltA and 17 kDa amplicons within spotted fever group rickettsiae, with affinity to R. hoogstraalii/R. asemboensis lineage. These findings provide multi-targeted molecular evidence of spotted fever group (SFG) like Rickettsia in clinically asymptomatic border personnel and highlight the need for serology, longitudinal follow-up, and vector surveillance to clarify its epidemiological significance.
