Abstract
Toxocariasis is a neglected parasitic zoonosis. Although some studies have reported the Toxocara prevalence in dogs and cats in mainland China, there is a lack of comprehensive analysis of these data. Here, we conducted the first systematic review based on relevant literatures published in Web of Science, PubMed and CNKI from January 2000 to July 2019 to assess the prevalence of Toxocara infection in dogs and cats in mainland China. A total of 68 eligible papers were retrieved, including 24,490 dogs and 844 cats, with 17.34% (4246/24,490) Toxocara canis prevalence in dogs and 22.04% (186/844) Toxocara cati prevalence in cats by faecal floatation method. The prevalence and risk factors of T. canis and T. cati infection in different geographical regions, years, breeds, ages and genders were estimated in this review. This review indicates that there was high prevalence of Toxocara infection in dogs and cats in China. This finding calls for measures to reduce the potential risk of Toxocara infection and toxocariasis in humans and animals.
弓形虫病是一种被忽视的寄生虫人畜共患病。虽然一些研究报告了中国大陆猫狗中弓形虫的流行,但缺乏对这些数据的全面分析。本研究基于2000年1月至2019年7月在Web of Science、PubMed和CNKI上发表的相关文献,首次对中国大陆地区犬猫弓形虫感染流行情况进行了系统评价。共检索到符合条件的论文68篇,其中狗24490只,猫844只,粪便漂浮法犬犬弓形虫检出率为17.34%(4246/ 24490),猫弓形虫检出率为22.04%(186/844)。本文对不同地理区域、年龄、品种、年龄和性别犬、猫绦虫感染的流行情况和危险因素进行了分析。本综述表明,中国犬猫弓形虫感染率较高。这一发现要求采取措施减少人类和动物中弓形虫感染和弓形虫病的潜在风险。
期刊介绍:
Advances in Parasitology is recognised as a leading review serial which is consistently well placed in terms of impact factor and citations. Major reviews on all aspects of medical, veterinary and wild-life parasitology are considered. The journal provides an outlet for authoritative reviews from experts in the field. While emphasis is given to modern molecular approaches contributions across all disciplines are encouraged including traditional areas such as ecology and taxonomy. Eclectic volumes are supplemented by thematic volumes dedicated to a particular topic of recognised interest and importance.
