The occurrence of protozoan parasites in different wild and domestic mammals in South Africa
Original language description
There is a lack of information available on protozoan parasites in African animals. Here we investigate the occurrence of protozoan parasites in mammals from South Africa. Protozoan parasites were detected in 13 of 56 (23 %) faecal samples. Cryptosporidium spp. and Isospora spp. were detected in 8 (14 %) and 5 (9 %) samples, respectively. Antibodies to T. gondii and N. caninum were not detected by ELISA in any of 32 sera tested. T. gondii was detected by PCR in tissue of five of 243 (2 %) animals; in domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris), gerbil spp. (Gerbilliscus spp.), greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), honey badger (Mellivora capensis) and white-tailed mongoose (Ichneumia albicauda). All tissue samples were negative for N. caninum. The study increases our knowledge on the occurrence of protozoan parasites in populations of wild and domestic animals in South Africa.
