![]() For pigs, the animal-level seroprevalence of T. gondii infection, its associated risk factors in farms, and haplotypes isolated from the native village chicken and pig populations in Peninsular Malaysia. A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence of T. Toxoplasmosis is usually acquired via ingestion of undercooked infected animal tissues resulting in life-threatening consequences for unborn foetus and immunocompromised individuals. Toxoplasma gondii is an important zoonotic foodborne parasite capable of infecting almost all warm-blooded animal species worldwide. The risk factor findings, which are the first study in Malaysia, emphasised the necessity for covering feed storage and tightening the biosecurity in farm to lower the exposure of village chickens and pigs to the parasite. ![]() Six unique DNA sequences were isolated from the tissue samples. On the other hand, 3.0% of serum and 5.8% of pig tissue samples were positive with T. In chickens, 7.6% of serum and 14.0% of tissue samples were detected with T. In the current study, serum and tissue samples from village chickens and pigs were examined. ![]() Toxoplasmosis is common leading to public health concerns and economic losses to the animal industry. Felids are the only definitive host responsible in producing oocysts that are highly resistant to environmental elements. The coccidian parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, has an exceptionally broad spectrum of intermediate hosts. Toxoplasma gondii is an emerging foodborne parasite disease causing morbidity and mortality worldwide. ![]()
