First identification of Trichinella britovi in a domestic dog (Canis familiaris) from Algeria
Trichinellosis is a parasitic disease affecting various mammals (including humans), birds, and reptiles, and is widespread across multiple continents except Antarctica. The disease can be caused by several species of the genus Trichinella and there are documented cases of T. britovi globally.
In Algeria, human cases of Trichinella have been reported and a study identifying T. britovi linked the infection to the consumption of jackal meat., with no reports of Trichinella spp. in animals. This preliminary study aimed to investigate the presence of Trichinella spp. infection among carnivorous species in Algeria.
Between February 2022 and August 2023, 33 road-killed mammals, mainly carnivores were collected from different locations across five departments: El Tarf, Annaba, Constantine, Algiers, and Oued Souf. Comprehensive parasitological necropsies were conducted, and muscle samples from the dorsal and ventral musculature of the forelimb and the diaphragm of each animal were examined using trichinoscopy. DNA was isolated from positive muscle tissue samples and analyzed using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Trichinella spp. cysts were detected in one domestic dog (Canis familiaris) from Ain Kerma, El Tarf. Molecular analysis confirmed all cysts as T. britovi. This study presents the first report of the genus T. britovi in an animal host in Algeria, highlighting the role of domestic dogs in maintaining the sylvatic life cycle of T. britovi in the region.
期刊介绍：
Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports focuses on aspects of veterinary parasitology that are of regional concern, which is especially important in this era of climate change and the rapid and often unconstrained travel of people and animals. Relative to regions, this journal will accept papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites within the field of veterinary medicine. Also, case reports will be considered as they add to information related to local disease and its control; such papers must be concise and represent appropriate medical intervention. Papers on veterinary parasitology from wildlife species are acceptable, but only if they relate to the practice of veterinary medicine. Studies on vector-borne bacterial and viral agents are suitable, but only if the paper deals with vector transmission of these organisms to domesticated animals. Studies dealing with parasite control by means of natural products, both in vivo and in vitro, are more suited for one of the many journals that now specialize in papers of this type. However, due to the regional nature of much of this research, submissions may be considered based upon a case being made by the author(s) to the Editor. Circumstances relating to animal experimentation must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (obtainable from: Executive Secretary C.I.O.M.S., c/o W.H.O., Via Appia, CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland).
