Abstract

Twelve species of free-living African mammals from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia were tested for antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii using the indirect hemagglutination test. Of 157 animals sampled, 20 (13%) were seropositive. T. gondii antibodies were detected in Burchell's zebra, (Equus burchelli), hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius), African elephant (Loxodonta africana), defassa waterbuck (Kobus defassa), lion (Panthera leo), and rock hyrax (Procavia capensis), The highest titers were found in elephants, two having titers of 1:4096 and one of 1:8192. These results are discussed in relation to the maintenance of T. gondii among African wildlife.

摘要

使用间接血凝试验对来自肯尼亚、坦桑尼亚、乌干达和赞比亚的12种非洲自由生活哺乳动物进行了弓形虫抗体检测。在157只采样动物中，20只（13%）血清呈阳性。在布氏斑马（Equus burchelli）、河马（Hippopotamus amphibius）、非洲象（Loxodonta africana）、德法萨水羚（Kobus defassa）、狮子（Panthera leo）和岩蹄兔（Procavia capensis）中检测到弓形虫抗体。在大象中发现了最高滴度，其中两只滴度为1:4096，一只为1:8192。结合非洲野生动物中弓形虫的维持情况对这些结果进行了讨论。
