“…In the line of previous results of Baltazar-Pérez, et al 31 , the sex is significant risk factor for prevalence of N. caninum in buffaloes. Contrary to findings of Campero, et al 35 and Kengradomkij, et al 27 , the results revealed strong association between N. caninum seroprevalence in water buffaloes and sex.…”

“…In the present study, the overall seroprevalence rate of N. caninum in water buffaloes was 31.3%, falling within the previously reported range (27.5% to 35.4%) in Brazil 24,25 . The reported seroprevalence rate for neosporosis in the current survey was higher than those reported in in Vietnam (1.05%) 26 , Thailand (9.1-16.7%) 27 , India (9.9%) 28 , Iran (19.3%) 29 and Mexico (24.3-41.2%) 30,31 . Furthermore, the prevalence of the current findings appears to be lower when compared to research done in Brazil, where rates varied from 49 to 88% [32][33][34] , Argentina (64%) 35 and Guangxi, China (50.9%) 36 .…”

Neosporosis is a parasitic disease that causes reproductive disorders in animals, making it a barrier to maximum efficiency. The purpose of this study was to determine the seroprevalence ofNeosporacaninum(N.caninum) antibodies in water buffaloes from four governorates in northern Egypt. A commercial indirect-ELISA test was used to detect antibodies againstN.caninumin the serum of 450 water buffaloes. The total seroprevalence ofN.caninumin water buffaloes from Egypt was 31.3%, and the highest prevalence was observed in Gharbia governorate. The identified risk factors forN.caninuminfections in water buffaloes were sex (OR = 1.96, 95%CI: 1.22−4.17), buffaloes more than 4 years of age ( OR = 5.80, 95%CI: 2.26−14.86), abortion in second trimester (OR = 16.48, 95%%CI: 2.99−34.03), history of abortion (OR = 3.45, 95%CI: 1.58−7.52) and contact with dogs (OR = 2.55, 95%CI: 1.51−4.32). Thus, more studies are needed to determine the role of buffaloes in the epidemiology of neosporosis in Egypt.

“…In any case, these assays do not outperform the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity (DSe and DSp) of the classical buffered Brucella agglutination tests (Rose Bengal [RBT], Card and Buffered Plate Agglutination tests) that do not suffer from cut-off adjustment problems [ 50 ]. There are abundant examples of these problems in the recent literature [ 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 61 , 62 , 66 , 68 , 71 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 , 108 ].…”

One Health is the collaborative efforts of multiple disciplines to attain optimal health for people, animals and the environment, a concept that historically owes much to the study of brucellosis, including recent political and ethical considerations. Brucellosis One Health actors include Public Health and Veterinary Services, microbiologists, medical and veterinary practitioners and breeders. Brucellosis awareness, and the correct use of diagnostic, epidemiological and prophylactic tools is essential. In brucellosis, One Health implementation faces inherited and new challenges, some aggravated by global warming and the intensification of breeding to meet growing food demands. In endemic scenarios, disease awareness, stakeholder sensitization/engagement and the need to build breeder trust are unresolved issues, all made difficult by the protean characteristics of this zoonosis. Extended infrastructural weaknesses, often accentuated by geography and climate, are critically important. Capacity-building faces misconceptions derived from an uncritical adoption of control/eradication strategies applied in countries with suitable means, and requires additional reference laboratories in endemic areas. Challenges for One Health implementation includee the lack if research in species other than cattle and small ruminants, the need for a safer small ruminant vaccine, the need to fill in the infrastructure gap, the need for realistic capacity-building, the creation of reference laboratories in critical areas, and the stepwise implementation of measures not directly transposed from the so-called developed countries.
