Detection of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum in animals from three zoos in Slovakia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The aim of this study was to detect antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum in exotic animal species kept in three zoos in Slovakia.Antibodies to T. gondii and N. caninum were detected by commercial Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA, ID Screen Toxoplasmosis Indirect Multispecies and ID Screen Neospora caninum Indirect Multispecies, ID Vet, Montpellier, France). Antibodies to T. gondii and N. caninum were detected in 43% (24/56) and 5% (3/55) of animals, respectively. The three animals with N. caninum antibodies: two wolves (Canis lupus) and one Hartmann&apos;s mountain Zebra (Equus zebra hartmannae), were clinically healthy, and both wolves simultaneously had antibodies to T. gondii. The results of our study provide a picture of the recent circulation of T. gondii in three Slovakian zoos with the S/ P (ratio of antibodies in the sample to antibodies in positive control) value higher than 200%, found in five animals (9%) indicating acute toxoplasmosis. The highest S/P value (296%) was detected in a Roloway monkey (Cercopithecus roloway), which was healthy without clinical signs, presuming that Roloway monkey is a species less susceptible to T. gondii infection.Results of our study showed the presence of T. gondii and N. caninum in Slovakian zoos, confirming recent T. gondii infections according to the high level of antibodies detected in five animals, referring to acute toxoplasmosis.
