Abstract: Taenia solium is a zoonotic tapeworm of great importance in developing countries, due to the occurrence of human taeniasis and cysticercosis. Pigs have an important role in the biological cycle of the parasite as intermediate hosts. The scientific literature has been describing risk factors associated with the occurrence of this disease that must be avoided in countries with poor sanitation, in order to reduce the exposure of swine to the parasite eggs. This research focused on testing pigs of non-technified rearing farms for serum antibodies against Taenia solium in the region of Jaboticabal municipality, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The found prevalence was 6.82% (CI 95% 4.18 - 9.45) at animal level and 28.87% (CI 95% 16.74 - 40.40) at herd level. These figures are probably associated with low technification adoption during animal rearing in the studied area, which increased the exposure of the animals to risk factors associated with the occurrence of Taenia solium complex. The results found based on serological evidences of swine cysticercosis in the studied region serves as a warning to public sanitary authorities to improve public health and control T. solium.

SummaryAn analysis of hypertrophic osteodystrophy (HOD), craniomandibular osteopathy (CMO) and canine distemper virus (CDV) infection was undertaken. Risk factors (age, breed, sex, neuter status, weight, geographical and seasonal distribution) of the three diseases were determined and compared. Patient records were searched using the Veterinary Medical Database (VMDB) during the period of 1980 through 1989. This search identified 131 cases of HOD, 68 cases of CMO and 1,757 of CDV infection. Dogs less than six months of age were identified to be at greatest risk for HOD, CMO and CDV. The Great Dane, Cairn Terrier and the Greyhound were identified to be at highest risk for HOD, CMO and CDV infection, respectively. Males puppies were twice as likely to develop HOD. We concluded, from the risk factors analyzed, that risk factors for HOD, CMO or CDV infection were not similar.Patient information was obtained from clinical cases of 16 veterinary teaching hospitals to examine a possible relationship between Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy (HOD), Craniomandibular Osteopathy (CMO), and Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) infections. Risk factors for each disease were determined. Subjective comparison of risk factors for HOD and CMO did not support the notion of a relationship between HOD and CMO. In addition, no evidence for a possible relationship between CDV and HOD or CMO was found.

Mean Time

Sixty puppies were randomly assigned to receive one of two commercially available combination vaccines, and responses to the canine parvovirus and canine distemper virus components of the vaccines were determined by measuring serum antibody titers. The percentage of puppies that seroconverted to canine parvovirus was significantly higher and the mean time for seroconversion was significantly shorter for puppies that received one of the vaccines than for puppies that received the other vaccine. Percentages of puppies that seroconverted to canine distemper virus were not significantly different.

The Impact

Domestic dogs are common amongst communities in sub-Saharan Africa and may serve as important reservoirs for infectious agents that may cause diseases in wildlife. Two agents of concern are canine parvovirus (CPV) and canine distemper virus (CDV), which may infect and cause disease in large carnivore species such as African wild dogs and African lions, respectively. The impact of domestic dogs and their diseases on wildlife conservation is increasing in Zimbabwe, necessitating thorough assessment and implementation of control measures. In this study, domestic dogs in north-western Zimbabwe were evaluated for antibodies to CDV, CPV, and canine adenovirus (CAV). These dogs were communal and had no vaccination history. Two hundred and twenty-five blood samples were collected and tested using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for antibodies to CPV, CDV, and CAV. Of these dogs, 75 (34%) had detectable antibodies to CDV, whilst 191 (84%) had antibodies to CPV. Antibodies to canine adenovirus were present in 28 (13%) dogs. Canine parvovirus had high prevalence in all six geographic areas tested. These results indicate that CPV is circulating widely amongst domestic dogs in the region. In addition, CDV is present at high levels. Both pathogens can infect wildlife species. Efforts for conservation of large carnivores in Zimbabwe must address the role of domestic dogs in disease transmission.
