One Health approach on human seroprevalence of anti-Toxocara antibodies, Toxocara spp. eggs in dogs and sand samples between seashore mainland and island areas of southern Brazil

Toxocariasis, caused by Toxocara spp. nematodes, is among the top 5 neglected parasitic diseases worldwide; however, no comprehensive study to date has serologically compared infections in people and their dogs and environmentally contaminated soil or sand of mainland and island locations. According...

For dog samples, 12/115 (10.43%) were positive for the presence of Toxocara spp. eggs, all from dogs living in islands, and 22/104 (21.15%) dog hair samples contained eggs of Toxocara spp. Environmental contamination with Toxocara spp. eggs was observed in 50/130 (38.46%) samples from all sampled sites.

The present study is the first concurrent report on people, their dogs, and environmental contamination of Toxocara spp. The high prevalence we observed in the seashore populations of both in island and mainland areas may be caused by exposure to contaminated sand and climatic factors favoring frequent exposure to Toxocara spp. In conclusion, seashore lifestyle and living conditions of both island and mainland areas may have predisposed higher contact with infected pets and contaminated soil, favoring the high prevalence of toxocariasis.Ruana Renostro DelaiAaronson Ramathan FreitasLouise Bach KmetiukYslla Fernanda Fitz Balo MeriguetiIsabella Braghin FerreiraSusana Angélica Zevallos LescanoWilliam Henry Roldan GonzálesAna Pérola Drulla BrandãoIvan Roque de Barros-FilhoChristina Pettan-BrewerFabiano Borges FigueiredoAndrea Pires dos SantosCláudia Turra PimpãoVamilton Alvares SantarémAlexander Welker BiondoElsevierarticleOne HealthToxocariasisToxocara canisToxocara catiZoonosesMedicine (General)R5-920ENOne Health, Vol 13, Iss , Pp 100353- (2021)
