Prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii and Encephalitozoon cuniculi antibodies in domestic rabbits in the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic
Original language description
Rabbit meat is commonly used for human consumption. The aim of this study was to evaluate seroprevalence of T. gondii and E. cuniculi antibodies in domestic rabbits kept in different housing conditions as an important information for veterinary practiceand human health. Blood samples from commercially breed rabbits were collected in a slaughterhouse; other samples were obtained individually from small family farms after slitting a throat of a rabbit or from marginal ear vein of animals. Totally was collected 1883 samples of rabbit sera, 902 samples from 6 commercial rabbit farms and 981 sera from 29 small family farms to determine presence of IgG and IgM antibodies of T. gondii and E. cuniculi using in-house ELISA tests. T. gondii antibodies were detected in 5,5 % of rabbits at 2 commercial farms and at 24 family farms. There was a significant difference between prevalence of T. gondii in small family farms (10,1 %) and in commercial farms (0,4 %). All tested farms were E. cuniculi po
