High prevalence of Blastocystis sp. in pigs reared under intensive growing systems: Frequency of ribotypes and associated risk factors
Three hundred and ninety-five pig fecal samples were analyzed looking for Blastocystis sp. using optical microscopy and PCR. A global prevalence of 46.8% has been observed in this study, although relative values of prevalence differ notably according to the strata examined, ranging from 9.3% in sows to 75% in weaners. Statistic analysis of the data included several risk factors such as different management systems, date of sample collection, fecal consistency, age and sex of the animals. The presence of the parasite was statistically associated to the variables "age" and "date of sample collection", being more prevalent in weaners and grower pigs and warm season. Random fragment-length poly…
Occurrence and genotypes of Giardia isolated from lambs in Spain
Three hundred and eighty six faecal specimens were randomly collected from 1- to 3-month-old lambs from 16 farms in Spain to investigate the presence of different genotypes of Giardia duodenalis. Individual specimens were examined by IFA (Immunofluorescence assay) and beta-giardin PCR polymerase chain reaction. Cysts of G. duodenalis were shed by lambs in every flock analyzed, showing a prevalence by farms of 100%. The average prevalence of G. duodenalis for the 386 specimens was 42%, ranging from 8.3 to 80% depending on the farm. beta-giardin PCR positive samples were sequenced to determine the genotypes present at each farm and seven new subtypes of beta-giardin Assemblage E are reported …
