Toxocara canis and Toxocara cati in Stray Dogs and Cats in Bangkok, Thailand: Molecular Prevalence and Risk Factors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Toxocara canis and cati are known as common roundworm in dogs cats, respectively. The objective of the current study was to determine molecular prevalence risk factors associated with T. infections stray respectively, Bangkok, Thailand. In total, 1000 fecal samples (from 500 cats) were collected from cats residing Bangkok temples. DNA extracted screened for using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. overall 5.4% (27/500) 0.6% (3/500) cats. detected 11 out 48 districts (22.9%), Bang Khen district having highest proportion infected dogs, whereas only Lat Krabang district. These results indicated that animals temples pose a considerable public health due zoonotic parasites, especially canis.

متن کاملToxocara canis and Toxocara catis
mopolitan roundworms that infect dogs, especially puppies, and cats. T. canis infection in humans occurs by ingestion of the embryonic eggs, which are shed in the feces of infected dogs. Toxocariasis is manifested in three different syndromes: visceral larva migrans (VLM), ocular larva migrans (OLM), and covert toxocariasis (1, 2). VLM is usually a disease of children 1 to 6 year old, and it ma...

Toxocariasis is currently considered an important zoonosis in many countries and is usually attributed to larvae of Toxocara canis Werner, 1782 but less frequently, T. cat. This study attempts to compare the migration routes followed by T. canis and Toxocara cati (Schrank, 1788) in Rattus norvegicus Berkenhout, 1769 and to determine the percentage of larvae recovered in each organ of experiment...

The objective of this study was to determine seroprevalence and identify risk factors associated with Toxocara canis infection. A clinical and epidemiological questionnaire and body mass index were used to assess the risk factors associated with human toxocariasis in 108 children with an age range of 2-16 years. Antibodies against Toxocara canis were detected using an ELISA test kit. Chi-square...
