Open Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2012, 2, 77-80 /10.4236/ojvm.2012.22013 Published Online June 2012 (http://www.SciRP.org/journal/ojvm) Balantidium coli in Pigs Regularly Slaughtered at Abattoirs of the Province of Messina: Hygienic Observations Filippo Giarratana, Daniele Muscolino, Gianluca Taviano, Graziella Ziino Department of Veterinary Public Health, Section of Inspection of Food of Animal Origin, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Messina, Messina, Italy Email: fgiarratana@unime.it Received January 30, 2012; revised February 17, 2012; accepted March 15, 2012 ABSTRACT Balantidium coli is a zoonotic protozoan parasite, and pork is considered the major source of Balantidium infection in humans. Transmission is direct and commonly occurs through the ingestion of water and food, especially vegetables, contaminated with infectious cysts. Ingestion of meat contaminated, with faecal material during the evisceration process, can represent a potential risk of B. coli transmission. In order to determine the rate of B. coli infection in pigs regularly slaughtered at abattoirs in the province of Messina (Sicily, Italy), faecal samples of 242 pigs (122 commercial hybrid and 120 Nero Siciliano pigs) were collected and evaluated by standard methods for the presence of trophozoites and/or cysts. A total of 105 of the commercial hybrid (86.06%), but only 44 of the Nero Siciliano (36.66%) pigs, were identi- fied as positive for B. coli infection. The results obtained, may be linked to the type of farming employed. Keywords: Foodborn Pathogens; Balantidium coli; Nero Siciliano Pigs; Commercial Hybrid 1. Introduction diseases [8,9]. Some cases of B. coli infection in im- munocompromised patients, including HIV/AIDS pa- tients, patients with malignancies, and transplantation re- cipients have been reported [10-13].
