The prevalences of antibodies to the protozoan parasites Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum were investigated by the direct agglutination test (DAT) and ELISA, respectively, in 221 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from different parts of Sweden. A total of 84 (38%) of the analysed sera had antibodies to T. gondii, but none of the foxes had antibodies to N. caninum. The results indicate that T. gondii infection is fairly common in Swedish red foxes and that the infection is present in most parts of the country. They also show that N. caninum is not widespread as a latent infection among red foxes in Sweden.
分别通过直接凝集试验（DAT）和酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA），对来自瑞典不同地区的221只赤狐（赤狐属）体内原生动物寄生虫刚地弓形虫和犬新孢子虫的抗体流行情况进行了调查。在分析的血清中，共有84份（38%）含有抗刚地弓形虫抗体，但没有一只狐狸含有抗犬新孢子虫抗体。结果表明，刚地弓形虫感染在瑞典赤狐中相当普遍，且在该国大部分地区都有这种感染。这些结果还表明，犬新孢子虫作为一种潜伏感染在瑞典赤狐中并不广泛存在。
