In this study, we captured 60 wild New World monkeys (Cebus spp.; Alouatta caraya) at the Paraná river basin, Paraná State, Brazil, and modified agglutination test (MAT) was performed to evaluate anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies. Prevalence was 30.2% (13/43) in Cebus spp. (capuchin monkeys) and 17.6% (3/17) for A. caraya (black and golden howler monkeys). MAT showed antibody titers of 16 (15/16) and 64 (1/16). Herein, we have observed an odds ratio (OR)=4.67 (1.06<OR<21.42, p<0.01) among monkeys with presumed risk of human contact. There were not any statistical differences among age, species and sex (p>0.05). The present work is the first report on serum occurrence of anti-T. gondii antibodies in wild capuchin monkeys and in wild black and golden howler monkeys.
在本研究中,我们在巴西巴拉那州巴拉那河流域捕获了60只野生新大陆猴(僧帽猴属;黑须僧面猴),并进行改良凝集试验(MAT)以评估抗刚地弓形虫抗体。僧帽猴属(卷尾猴)的患病率为30.2%(13/43),黑须僧面猴的患病率为17.6%(3/17)。MAT显示抗体滴度分别为16(15/16)和64(1/16)。在此,我们观察到在假定有与人类接触风险的猴子中,优势比(OR)=4.67(1.06<OR<21.42,p<0.01)。年龄、物种和性别之间没有任何统计学差异(p>0.05)。本研究是关于野生卷尾猴和野生黑须僧面猴血清中抗刚地弓形虫抗体出现情况的首次报告。
