{"title":"Toxoplasma gondii infection in horses. A review.","authors":"P Tassi","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"This review updates those written by Dubey and Beattie in 1988 (1988a) and by Tenter et al in 2000, on pathological and epidemiological aspects of Toxoplasma infection in horses. Under natural conditions, seroprevalence may variate from 0% up to 90%. This wide variation may be due to the sensitivity of the serological methods, to the age of animals, to the geographical area, and even to the hygienic condition of the farms and farm management. With few exceptions, horses are considered one of the less sensitive specie to the pathogenic effect of Toxoplasma gondii. In fact, neither under experimental nor under natural condition a genuine pathologic picture related to the toxoplasmic infection has been described. In one occasion the organism has been isolated from an eye condition and in others a connection between a higher frequency of unspecified pathological conditions and a positive response to serological test for Toxoplasma has been speculated. Diaplacental transmission and the following abortion have been only occasionally reported, and at least in one case in a quite trustworthy way, therefore it must be considered possible, though rare. Although infection of humans due to the consumption of horse meat has never been reported, the existence of a possible risk arouses by the demonstration of the presence of parasite stages in either naturally or experimentally infected horses, which resulted to be infective for mice and/or cats.","PeriodicalId":76304,"journal":{"name":"Parassitologia","volume":"49 1-2","pages":"7-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"27384390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Western blot and standard serological test were performed on sera collected from mother during pregnancy and from mother and child at birth, at postpartum month 1-3-6-9 and 12. At this point in time, 22 pregnant women and 14 infants have completed the follow-up. 4 newborns were infected and 2 had specific toxoplasmosis anomalies at the birth. In mothers without seroconversion, the WB performed during pregnancy demonstrates the highest accordance with postnatal follow-up whereas in 1 case the negative result of PCR analysis was not confirmed by postnatal observation. The detection of anti-T gondii IgG against 8 kDa accessory antigenic band and against the accessory band included between 35 and 40 kDa band in immunoblot assay was useful for diagnosis of acute phase but did not improve the evaluation of comparative postnatal profile. Althougth few infants have concluded the postnatal follow-up, the preliminary results showed a greater value of using a IgM and IgA WB test than other standard method for the early diagnosis of toxoplasmosis at birth also in child born to treated mothers. The comparative anti-T gondii IgG immunoblot profile of mother and child permitted us to reduce the time of ruling out infection in newborns born to mothers with probable or possible infection and/or when prenatal diagnosis is negative or not performed.","PeriodicalId":76304,"journal":{"name":"Parassitologia","volume":"49 1-2","pages":"39-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"27386035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to provide a robust, efficient and reliable diagnostic method, a duplex PCR assay targeting the Leishmania infantum kDNA minicircle and the canine GAPDH gene as inner control was designed. Sensitivity of the assay reached 0.15 parasites/ml blood. Development, testing and application of this system on a group of 10 dogs during therapy administration (60 days) are also described. Six dogs (out of eight that have been showing a positive PCR result on peripheral blood during the study) were tested negative at day 62, indicating a reduction of parasitaemia at the end of the treatment period. All the animals had a positive PCR on lymph node aspirate both at the beginning and at the end of treatment. These findings seem to suggest that, in order to test therapy efficacy, PCR on whole blood could be a useful assay in dogs that have a positive PCR at the beginning of the treatment, while PCR positivity on lymph nodes lasts longer than the observation period during therapy administration. The presence of the GAPDH inner control band efficiently contributed to prevent false negatives, by highlighting samples affected by haemoglobin inhibition or inappropriate DNA isolation.","PeriodicalId":76304,"journal":{"name":"Parassitologia","volume":"49 1-2","pages":"43-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"27383137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
