Abstract

The prevalence of chlamydia antibodies in Japan was investigated in 215 cat sera, consisting of 88 sera of stray cats and 127 sera of pet cats, and 2,184 human sera, taken from 2,003 general persons and 181 small animal clinic veterinarians, by microimmunofluorescence (MIF) testing with Chlamydia psittaci Fe/Pn1 of feline origin and Prk/6BC of avian origin as antigens. The prevalence rates of anti-Fe/Pn1 antibodies were 45.5% in stray cats, 17.3% in pet cats, 1.7% in general persons and 8.8% in small animal clinic veterinarians. The prevalence rates of anti-Prk/6BC antibodies were 51.1% in stray cats, 15.0% in pet cats, 3.1% in general persons and 5.0% in small animal clinic veterinarians. These results suggested that feline chlamydia infection is widely spread in cats especially in stray cats in Japan, and suggested that feline chlamydiosis could be transmitted to people who are in close contact with infected cats.

摘要

通过使用源自猫的鹦鹉热衣原体Fe/Pn1和源自禽的Prk/6BC作为抗原进行微量免疫荧光（MIF）检测，对日本215份猫血清（包括88份流浪猫血清和127份宠物猫血清）以及取自2003名普通人和181名小动物诊所兽医的2184份人血清进行了衣原体抗体患病率调查。抗Fe/Pn1抗体的患病率在流浪猫中为45.5%，宠物猫中为17.3%，普通人中为1.7%，小动物诊所兽医中为8.8%。抗Prk/6BC抗体的患病率在流浪猫中为51.1%，宠物猫中为15.0%，普通人中为3.1%，小动物诊所兽医中为5.0%。这些结果表明，猫衣原体感染在日本的猫中广泛传播，尤其是在流浪猫中，并且表明猫衣原体病可能会传播给与受感染猫密切接触的人。
