A serologic survey for Toxoplasma gondii in 18 free-ranging forest mammal species (n = 456) in French Guiana was undertaken with a direct agglutination test. Serum antibody prevalence varied from 0-71%. The relationships between ecologic features of the species and seroprevalence were investigated. Terrestrial mammals were significantly more exposed to T. gondii than other mammals. This result is concordant with oral exposure to T. gondii related to ground dwelling behavior and/or carnivory.
在法属圭亚那，对18种自由放养的森林哺乳动物（n = 456）进行了弓形虫血清学调查，采用直接凝集试验。血清抗体阳性率在0%至71%之间。研究了这些物种的生态特征与血清阳性率之间的关系。陆生哺乳动物比其他哺乳动物更易感染弓形虫。这一结果与因地面栖息行为和/或食肉习性导致经口感染弓形虫的情况相符。
