RESUMO

Echinococcus multilocularis has been spreading through Central Eastern Europe but has not yet been reported in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). Recently, this parasite is confirmed in Croatia suggesting the movement of the parasite's distribution limit further south. Given that there is no surveillance or monitoring system for echinococcosis in B&H, our study was designed as a pilot study of E. multilocularis. A total of 57 red foxes originating from 24 localities all over the country were collected during the routine rabies monitoring, autopsied and examined for the presence of echinococcosis. Based on intestinal scraping technique and microscopy, E. multilocularis adult worms have been detected in one (1/57, 1.75%) red fox. To verify this finding and to differentiate Echinococcus spp., DNA extracted from adult worms was subjected to species-specific PCR targeting part of the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA gene. E. multilocularis PCR-positive samples were further confirmed by NGS sequencing of a 203 bp amplified fragment of 12S rRNA, which has been deposited in GenBank (Accession no.: OP047920). This finding represents the first detection of E. multilocularis in B&H, strongly suggesting its presence in the country. The confirmation of the parasite in the same locality where migrants/refugees temporarily stay on their route to Western Europe highlights the need for a One Health approach in addressing all future questions. Moreover, the first detection of E. multilocularis in B&H warrants the need for the implementation of an appropriate state surveillance program.

RESUMO

Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic diseases worldwide that is endemic to Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) and remains an emerging public and animal health concern in this country. Diagnostic testing of brucellosis in ruminants in B&H relies exclusively on serological methods. The present study was conducted to determine the presence of Brucella spp. in clinical samples of seropositive ruminants by Real-time PCR assay. Of the 135 samples tested, 37% were positive by Real-time PCR. The frequency of detection of Brucella-DNA in the samples collected from aborted animals (n = 20/20; 100%) was significantly higher (P < 0.00001) when compared to asymptomatic animals (n = 30/115; 26%). Among asymptomatic animals, 31.1% of cattle were positive for Brucella-DNA, followed by sheep (23.4%) and goats (16.6%). The results of this research underline the limitations of the current control policy and indicate the need for additional diagnostic methods required for more effective brucellosis control program.
