Sympatric occurrence of Taenia saginata and Sarcocystis spp. in cattle from Narok County, Kenya: meat inspection findings with molecular validation

Journal of Helminthology
The epidemiological picture of Taenia saginata infections in Kenya is fragmented with limited available data. Although Sarcocystis species are significant meat-borne parasites, few studies have explored their occurrence in Kenya.

Molecular identification of Sarcocystis halieti in the muscles of two species of birds of prey from Spain

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Members of the genus Sarcocystis are protozoan parasites characterized by a prey–predator two-host life-cycle. Sarcocysts are formed in the muscles or central nervous system of the intermediate host (IH), while sporocysts develop in the small ...

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.

Low prevalence of zoonotic food-borne parasites Toxoplasma gondii and Trichinella spp., but high prevalence of a potential marine Sarcocystis spp., in Eastern Beaufort Sea beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) harvested in the Canadian Arctic

Arctic Science
Beluga whales ( Delphinapterus leucas (Pallas, 1776)) are traditional food sources for Inuit communities in the Canadian Arctic. In response to community concerns about zoonotic parasites ( Toxoplasma gondii and Trichinella spp.), the aim of this study ...

Participatory surveillance reveals marsh deer mortality event during an extraordinary flood in Ibera Wetlands, Argentina

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Mortality events of marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) have been historically described in the southern margins of its geographical range. Few documented cases show how environmental changes and pathogens interact to trigger mortality scenarios and reveal their causes.

Pet and Stray Dogs’ Contribution to Zoonotic Transmission Pathways: A Bibliometric Review

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Based on a large‐scale bibliometric dataset, domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) emerge as the most frequently cited host species in the context of zoonoses, being mentioned in at least 10% of publications for nearly a quarter of the pathogens recognized as zoonotic to humans.
