Abstract
Vectorborne Infections, Mali.
Highlights
Further investigation indicated that the source of infection was a pair of young-adult, free-range pigs living alongside the affected cattle
Reports have warned the community about major increases in zoonotic parasitic infections in organically raised pigs compared with animals raised under modern husbandry practices [9,10]
Until new proven preventive protocols are established, health personnel and veterinarians should be well informed about the risk for aberrant parasitic infections in pigs and possible transmission to humans and other domestic animals
Summary
Further investigation indicated that the source of infection was a pair of young-adult, free-range pigs living alongside the affected cattle. David Safronetz,1 Moussa Sacko, Nafomon Sogoba, Kyle Rosenke, Cynthia Martellaro, Sékou Traoré, Issa Cissé, Ousmane Maiga, Matt Boisen, Diana Nelson, Darin Oottamasathien, Molly Millett, Robert F. We retrospectively analyzed serum samples for evidence of recent (IgM+) and previous (IgG+) infection with chikungunya (CHIKV), dengue (DENV), West Nile (WNV), Lassa (LASV), Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHFV), and Ebola (EBOV) virus, as well as Old World hantaviruses (OW-HANV) and Leptospira spp., which is regularly misdiagnosed as an acute viral infection.
