Kontaminiranost mesa živine sa Toxoplasma gondii - faktor rizika nastanka humane toksoplazmatske infekcije

Abstract

Toksoplazmoza je parazitska antropozoonoza uzrokovana protozoom Toxoplasma gondii čiji je pravi domaćin mačka, a prelazni domaćini su sisari, ptice i gmizavci. Humane infekcije nastaju najćešće preko mesa inficiranih životinja, nedovoljno obrađenog termički, tako da je WHO na osnovu toga doneo Pravilnik o kontroli mesa na prisustvo T. gondii. U periodu 2000-2001. godine, primenom digestivne i modifikovane digestivne metode (po Pavloviću i Ivanovićevoj) ispitano je 235 uzoraka brojlera, pri čemu je prisustvo T. gondii ustanovljeno u 32,34 posto uzoraka (75/256). Rezultati su potvrđeni biološkim ogledom. Ovaj podatak ukazuje na značaj kontrole mesa živine u preveniranju humane toksoplazmatske infekcije.

Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic anthropozoonosis caused by the protozoa Toxoplasma gondii whose real host is the cat and the transitory hosts are mammals, birds and reptiles. Human infections occur most often through meat of infected animals which is insufficiently processed thermally, so that the World Health Organization (WHO), on these grounds, adopted a Book of Regulations on meat control for the presence of T. gondii. During the period from 2000-2001, using digestive and modified digestive method (according to Pavlovic and Ivanovic), 235 broiler samples were examined, and T. gondii was established in 32.34 % samples (75/256). The results were confirmed with a biological examination. These data indicate the importance of poultry meat control in preventing toxoplasmatic infection in humans.
