Rabies01:28

Rabies

Rabies is a lethal zoonotic disease caused by a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus of the Lyssavirus genus, within the family Rhabdoviridae. Its primary mode of transmission to humans is through bites or saliva-contaminated scratches from infected mammals such as dogs, bats, raccoons, or foxes. Transmission can also occur if infectious saliva contacts abraded skin or intact mucous membranes, including the conjunctiva.Viral Entry and Early ReplicationOnce introduced at the bite or scratch...
Toxoplasmosis01:28

Toxoplasmosis

Toxoplasmosis, a zoonotic disease caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, poses significant public health challenges globally due to its high seroprevalence and varied clinical manifestations. As an obligate intracellular parasite, T. gondii can infect all warm-blooded vertebrates, but felids are its only definitive hosts, shedding unsporulated oocysts into the environment. Humans typically acquire the infection through ingestion of tissue cysts in undercooked meat or oocysts from...
American Trypanosomiasis01:22

American Trypanosomiasis

Chagas disease, or American trypanosomiasis, is a vector-borne parasitic infection caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a flagellated protozoan (kinetoplastid) of the family Trypanosomatidae. The disease is endemic in Latin America, although cases are increasingly reported worldwide due to human migration. Transmission most commonly occurs when feces of infected triatomine bugs contaminate bite wounds or mucosal surfaces; additional routes include congenital, transfusional, transplant-related, and oral...

    Summary

    A cluster of trombiculiasis cases in dogs, linked to Neotrombicula autumnalis mites, caused neurologic signs in the Netherlands. Veterinarians should consider this mite infestation in diagnosing acute neurological issues in dogs.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Neurology
    • Parasitology
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Trombiculiasis, caused by mite infestations, has been sporadically reported to induce neurological signs in dogs.
    • Neotrombicula autumnalis mites are known ectoparasites, but their association with widespread neurological presentations in canine populations requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report and characterize a cluster of trombiculiasis cases in dogs presenting with acute neurological signs.
    • To identify the causative agent and geographic location of this outbreak.
    • To raise awareness among veterinarians regarding this potential cause of neurological disease in dogs.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series investigation of dogs presenting with acute neurological signs.
    • Geographic data collection for affected animals.
    • Identification of the mite species responsible for the infestation.

    Main Results:

    • A significant cluster of trombiculiasis cases was identified in Noord-Holland, the Netherlands.
    • Neotrombicula autumnalis mites were confirmed as the causative agent in all affected dogs.
    • The outbreak highlighted a link between N. autumnalis infestation and acute onset neurological signs.

    Conclusions:

    • Neotrombicula autumnalis mite infestation can cause significant neurological signs in dogs, presenting as an outbreak.
    • Veterinarians in affected regions should include trombiculiasis by N. autumnalis in their differential diagnoses for dogs with acute neurological deficits.
    • This finding underscores the importance of considering parasitic causes in the etiology of neurological diseases in companion animals.
