To determine the seroprevalences of Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana antibodies in Jordanian pet cats, serum samples from 153 cats from three geographical regions were analyzed. Seroprevalences were determined by indirect immunofluorescence. The true seroprevalences to B. henselae and B. quintana were 32 and 1.5%, respectively. The seroprevalence of B. henselae-specific antibodies in cats from northern Jordan was significantly higher than in cats from the central or southern parts of Jordan. The seroprevalence to B. henselae increased to age 2 years. Odds of seropositivity were higher in cats living outdoors, showing hunting behavior, having a flea infestation and of a mixed breed. No association was detected with sex.
为了确定约旦宠物猫中亨氏巴尔通体和五日热巴尔通体抗体的血清流行率，对来自三个地理区域的153只猫的血清样本进行了分析。血清流行率通过间接免疫荧光法测定。亨氏巴尔通体和五日热巴尔通体的实际血清流行率分别为32%和1.5%。约旦北部猫中亨氏巴尔通体特异性抗体的血清流行率显著高于约旦中部或南部的猫。亨氏巴尔通体的血清流行率随年龄增长至2岁。生活在户外、表现出捕猎行为、有跳蚤感染和混血品种的猫血清阳性几率更高。未发现与性别有关联。
