Resumo

Toxoplasmosis is a universal zoonosis caused by an obligate intracellular parasite, Toxoplasma gondii. One of its main manifestations is abortion in humans and animals. The present review aims to clarify the situation of the disease in camelids in different countries across the four continents of the world (Africa, Asia, America and Europe) over the past twenty years. The research strategy involved collecting all published data during this period, focusing on the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection and genotyping in different camelid species, as well as analyzing the various identified risk factors. This review provides a comprehensive epidemiological analysis of Toxoplasma gondii infection worldwide, making it a valuable resource for researchers. In total, 81 studies published between 2004 and 2024 involving 22040 camelids from 23 countries were included for the final analyses (Seropositivity studies covered 21844 camelids, while genotyping studies were performed on 585 camelids). The overall global seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in the Camelidae family was 28.76% with 6284 positive cases. The highest seroprevalence rate was in Europe (73.01%), followed by Africa (39.26%), Asia (22.16%) and finally America (22.05%). The current article highlighted a high seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in camelids worldwide, thus emphasizing the significant role these animals can play in the transmission cycle of this zoonotic disease. Therefore, it is essential to implement prevention and control measures as well as to raise public awareness to mitigate the public health impact of the disease.
