There are poor data on T. gondii and N. caninum seroprevalence in wild small mammals.
Antibodies to T. gondii and N. caninum were detected in 2.5% and 0.4% small mammals respectively. It is the first detection of N. caninum antibodies in wild rodents from Europe.
T. gondii was detected by PCR assay in liver of A. flavicollis and A. sylvaticus.
Three T. gondii isolates were genotyped by 15 microsatellite markers in a single multiplex PCR assay and characterized as type II.
