Although a stay in tropical regions is considered a risk factor for acquiring Sarcocystis infection, to date intestinal sarcocystosis has never been described in returning travelers. We did a retrospective cross-sectional study, retrieving all Sarcocystis spp. microscopy-positive stool results of individuals who attended the travel clinic of the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp in the period from 2001 to 2020.

The presence, sources and transmission routes of important foodborne pathogens : salmonella during poultry and pig slaughter and Taenia saginata and Sarcocystis species in cattle carcasses and the environment Universiteit Gent

Hang Zeng
Poultry meat, pork and beef are the most consumed meat products worldwide. Poultry and pigs are known carriers of Salmonella, while cattle are intermediate host of Sarcocystis spp. and Taenia saginata. The presence of these pathogens in meat are important sources of associated foodborne illness, which cause health and economic burden. An increasing knowledge of the presence, sources and transmission routes of these three pathogens during meat ...

BACKGROUND: Through 2 international traveler-focused surveillance networks (GeoSentinel and TropNet), we identified and investigated a large outbreak of acute muscular sarcocystosis (AMS), a rarely reported zoonosis caused by a protozoan parasite of the genus Sarcocystis, associated with travel to Tioman Island, Malaysia, during 2011-2012.

METHODS: Clinicians reporting patients with suspected AMS to GeoSentinel submitted demographic, ...
