Toxoplasma gondii in experimentally infected Bos taurus and Bos indicus semen and tissues

Abstract: RESUMO.-[Toxoplasma gondii em semen e tecidos de Bos taurus and Bos indicus experimentalmente infectados.] Dezoito bovinos foram inoculados comToxoplasma gondii e distribuídos aleatoriamente em três grupos de seis bovinos cada: GI (2,5x10 5 oocistos da cepa "P"), GII (5,0x10 6 taquizoítos da cepa "RH") e GIII (controle). Exames clínicos, sorológicos e parasitêmicos foram realizados. Pesquisas do parasito, por meio da bioprova e pela técnica de Reação em Cadeia pela Polimerase (PCR), foram realizadas no sêmen e… Show more

“…This was agreed by Scarpelli et al [10] who revealed the existence of the parasite in semen samples of animals infected with oocysts (GI) and tachyzoites (GII) which suggest the opportunity of sexual transmission of T. gondii in the bovine species. This also was supported by the isolation of T. gondii in the semen of sheep [9], goats [24] and swine [25].…”

“…In Brazil, Jamra et al (1969) and Spósito Filha et al (1988) succeeded in the isolation of T. gondii from human food of animal origin and from retina and diaphragm of slaughtered cattle respectively. More recently, Scarpelli et al (2009) performing bioassays revealed the presence of the parasite in many tissue and semen samples of animals infected with oocysts and tachyzoites on several experimental days between 7 and 84 suggesting the possibility of sexual transmission of T. gondii. In cattle the seroprevalence of antibodies anti-T. gondii ranges from 1.03 to 71% (Gondim et al 1999, Albuquerque et al 2005, Santos et al 2009, Spagnol et al 2009).…”

“…A ocorrência de formas infectantes de Toxoplasma gondii já foi anteriormente demonstrada no sêmen de humanos infectados (Martinez-Garcia et al 1996), bovinos (Scarpelli et al 2009), suínos (Moura et al 2007), caninos (Arantes et al 2009), caprinos (Dubey & Sharma 1980) e ovinos (Spence et al 1978), originando discussões sobre outras possíveis formas de transmissão do parasito uma vez que se desconhece a importância relativa da via venérea.…”

“…Em outro estudo realizado por Lopes et al (2009), T. gondii foi detectado no sêmen através da bioprova e PCR em dias variados (5-70 dias p.i). Em bovinos, Scarpelli et al (2009) também detectaram o parasita no sêmen através da bioprova a partir do dia 7 até 84 dias p.i., sendo o período mais longo já observado na infecção experimental.…”
