Abstract

Background: TOXOPLASMA gondii is a zoonotic parasite, which is assumed to have cosmopolitan distribution.Objectives: Adopting a cross-sectional study design the current research aimed to determine the occurrence of the parasite in cattle, camels and sheep in Isfahan and Chaharmahal va Bakhtiary provinces of IRAN.Materials and Methods: Animals in the field and those brought for slaughter at abattoirs were included. BLOOD samples were randomly collected from animals and investigated by POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION (PCR).Results: T. gondii infections were detected in 0.00%, 6.60% and 17.9% of the sample cattle (n=155), camels (n=122) and sheep (n=95) respectively. Sheep were more frequently affected in Chaharmahal va Bakhtiary (33.33%) compared to Isfahan (8.47%) (P=0.005, 95%; CI=6.88-43.35). No statistically significant difference was observed in infection prevalence between camels and sheep; and between the different sex categories in both camels and sheep.Conclusions: Evidence of T. gondii occurrence in sheep and camels was provided in the provinces under study. There is a need to investigate the potential risk factors of zoonotic infections. Furthermore, animal health and production losses caused by the parasite; and associated zoonotic implications in the area under study need to be explored.
