Toxocara canis seropositivity in different exposure groups in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Northwest Pakistan
Human toxocariasis is a highly prevalent zoonosis worldwide but is underreported in most countries. This study was conducted to evaluate Toxocara canis seropositivity in different exposure sub-groups located in the Mardan, Swabi, and Nowshera districts of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Northwest...

Toxocara canis
seropositivity in different exposure sub-groups located in the Mardan, Swabi, and Nowshera districts of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Northwest Pakistan. A total of 400 blood samples were collected from males 15 years of age and older with no animals, with livestock, with dogs and/or cats living in the house, and from butchers and veterinarians or para-veterinarians. Serum was tested using a commercial ELISA kit for detection of IgG antibodies against
T. canis
. Proportion seropositive was presented for each group and differences between groups were evaluated using the chi-square or Fisher’s exact test as appropriate. Possible risk factors obtained through administration of a questionnaire were also evaluated for each sub-population. Overall
T. canis
seroprevalence was 14.2%, with a significant difference found between the seroprevalence of individuals with no animals (5.0%; 5/100), individuals with dogs and/or cats living in the household (8.0%; 8/100), individuals with livestock (18.0%; 18/100), veterinarians or para-veterinarians (24.0%; 12/50), and butchers (28.0%; 14/50) (p |

Development and implementation of targeted preventive strategies may, therefore, be needed.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0932-0113</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1432-1955</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s00436-023-07816-4</identifier><identifier>PMID: 36890297</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Berlin/Heidelberg: Springer Berlin Heidelberg</publisher><subject>Animals ; Antibodies, Helminth ; Biomedical and Life Sciences ; Biomedicine ; Cats ; Development and progression ; Dogs ; Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay ; Humans ; Immunoglobulin G ; Immunology ; Livestock ; Male ; Medical Microbiology ; Microbiology ; Pakistan - epidemiology ; Risk Factors ; Seroepidemiologic Studies ; Serology ; Toxocara canis ; Toxocariasis ; Toxocariasis - diagnosis ; Toxocariasis - epidemiology ; Veterinary surgeons ; Zoonoses</subject><ispartof>Parasitology research (1987), 2023-05, Vol.122 (5), p.1159-1166</ispartof><rights>The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2023.
