Bovine besnoitiosis, which is caused by the cyst-forming apicomplexan parasite Besnoitia besnoiti, is a chronic and debilitating vector-borne disease characterized by both cutaneous and systemic manifestations. In Europe, this parasitic disease appeared in a few restricted areas in France and Portugal since the first recorded cases in the beginning of the 20th century. However, at present, the disease is considered to be re-emerging by the European Food Safety Authority due to an increased number of cases and the geographic expansion of besnoitiosis into cattle herds in several European countries. In this review, we will provide an update of the epidemiology and impact of B. besnoiti infection. Strategies to control this parasitic disease will also be discussed.
牛贝氏贝虫病是由形成包囊的顶复门寄生虫贝氏贝虫引起的一种慢性、消耗性的虫媒病，具有皮肤和全身表现。在欧洲，自 20 世纪初首次记录病例以来，这种寄生虫病仅出现在法国和葡萄牙的少数几个限制区域。然而，由于病例数量的增加以及贝氏贝虫病在几个欧洲国家的牛群中地理范围的扩大，目前，欧洲食品安全局认为该疾病正在重新出现。在这篇综述中，我们将提供贝氏贝虫感染的流行病学和影响的最新信息。我们还将讨论控制这种寄生虫病的策略。
