Moreover, there are concerns about its zoonotic potential. We aimed to explore <jats:italic>Strongyloides stercoralis<\/jats:italic> epidemiology in Southern Italy in humans and dogs sharing the same environment in three different settings: (1) kennels (group K); (2) livestock farms (group L) and (3) agricultural farms (group A). For humans, a commercial ELISA test was used for screening. RT-PCR on faecal samples was done for people testing positive or equivocal at serology. On dog\u2019s faecal samples, Baermann test and RT-PCR were performed. A total of 145 dogs and 139 persons were tested. Based on faecal tests in dogs and serology in humans, a <jats:italic>S. stercoralis<\/jats:italic> positivity of 4.1% and 6.5% was revealed, respectively. The sites where cases were found were different for animals and humans. In dogs the highest positivity was in group K (6.7% against 2% and 0% in L and A). Differently, in humans the proportion of positive results was similar between the groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.883). Fifty percent (3\/6) of positive dogs were healthy; the other dogs presented weight loss and\/or diarrhoea. ELISA-positive persons (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=9) were all in health, but abdominal pain (37.5%), urticaria (22.2%) and asthma (22.2%) were reported, resolving after treatment with oral ivermectin 200 \u03bcg\/kg. RT-PCR performed on 13 human faecal samples resulted negative. These findings suggest that strongyloidiasis is present in humans and dogs in Southern Italy, and screening in larger cohorts would be needed for more accurate estimates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00436-023-07978-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,22]],"date-time":"2023-09-22T03:27:11Z","timestamp":1695353231000},"page":"2885-2890","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Strongyloidiasis in humans and dogs in Southern Italy: an observational study"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"122","author":[{"given":"Paola","family":"Paradies","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Serena","family":"Digiaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonella","family":"Colella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Beatrice","family":"Greco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alessandra","family":"Recchia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco Giuseppe","family":"Prato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cristina","family":"Mazzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Losurdo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alfredo","family":"Di Leo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fabio","family":"Formenti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dora","family":"Buonfrate","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"7978_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"210","DOI":"10.1016\/j.actatropica.2015.07.019","volume":"150","author":"SL Becker","year":"2015","unstructured":"Becker SL, Piraisoody N, Kramme S, Marti H, Silu\u00e9 KD, Panning M, Nickel B, Kern WV, Herrmann M, Hatz CF, N\u2019Goran EK, Utzinger J, von M\u00fcller L (2015) Real-time PCR for detection of Strongyloides stercoralis in human stool samples from C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire: diagnostic accuracy, inter-laboratory comparison and patterns of hookworm co-infection.
