Overview

Assessment of sponge sampling for detecting cystoisospora suis in environmental and faecal samples indicates high detection rates.

Key Points

  • Sponge sampling achieved a sensitivity of 91.2% and specificity of 84.8% for detecting cystoisospora suis.
  • All farms tested positive for cystoisospora suis according to qPCR, with positivity rates between 20 and 100%.
  • The correlation between faecal and sponge sampling methods showed a moderate positive relationship (r = 0.51).
  • Sponge sampling can effectively complement faecal sampling, offering a practical alternative for detection on farms.
