Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii and its effect of hematological picture in commensal rodents in Faisalabad Pakistan

People and different creatures,for example,wild rats (rattus rattus) have been accounted for to be infected by toxoplasma gondii (t. gondii). t. gondii infects rats through feed and water and these might transmit t. gondii contamination to people. the prevalence in the serum of rodents having antibodies (abs) against t. gondii was assessed by utilizing latex agglutination test. sera tests of commensal rats,r. rattus (n = 71) and mice,mus musculus (n = 41) were caught at various structures i.e.,sequester settlements,government residences and luxurious habitations in faisalabad city for t. gondii abs and its hematological investigation. high rate of seropositive was recorded in r. rattus (45%) than m. musculus (36%). t. gondii was more common (72%) in female rats,and female mice (73%) when contrasted with male rats (28%) and mice (27%) with factual importance (p<0.05). the results in regards to the relationship between young and adult and t. gondii uncovered that prevalence of toxoplasmosis was higher 78 and 73% in full grown rats and mice,individually with measurable hugeness (p<0.05). when compared the prevalence of t. gondii in commensal rats and mice caught from different areas,the parasite had most elevated prevalence (55 and 48%) in sequester settlements. sequester settlements indicated more commonness of t. gondii in rats and mice than different structures with factual importance (p<0.05). prevalence of t. gondii was recognized from the rats and mice of neighborhood. blood examination demonstrated that seropositive rats and mice had essentially (p<0.05) higher variations from the norm on hemoglobin level,erythrocyte number,neutrophil and monocyte numbers contrasted with rats and mice,which were seronegative. while there was not noteworthy contrast for percent packed cell volume,leukocyte count,eosinophil and lymphocyte numbers (p>0.05) among sero-positive and sero-negative rats and mice. this demonstrates t. gondii disease might be a conceivable reason for hematological variations from the norm. further studies on the angles to give more facility examination data on other creature wellbeing is in progress. © 2017,university of agriculture. all rights reserved.
