The prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in chicks of wild birds and captive individuals was studied in the Poznań environs and in the Poznań Zoological Garden in the years 2002-2003. Bird blood was tested for T. gondii antibodies by an indirect fluorescent antibody test. T. gondii antibodies were detected from 5.8% of 205 analysed white stork chicks and 13.6% of 44 analysed adult storks in the zoo. Because toxoplasmosis is one of the more common parasitic zoonoses worldwide, we briefly discuss the potential epidemiological importance of stork toxoplasmosis to humans.
2002年至2003年期间,在波兹南周边地区和波兹南动物园对野生鸟类和圈养鸟类幼雏中的刚地弓形虫感染率进行了研究。通过间接荧光抗体试验检测鸟类血液中的刚地弓形虫抗体。在动物园中,从205只接受分析的白鹳幼雏中的5.8%以及44只接受分析的成年鹳中的13.6%检测到了刚地弓形虫抗体。由于弓形虫病是全球较为常见的寄生性人畜共患病之一,我们简要讨论了鹳弓形虫病对人类潜在的流行病学重要性。
