Giardia intestinalis antigen in fecal samples was examined in 361 dogs of 14 breeding kennels located at various areas in Japan, using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. G. intestinalis antigen was detected in 37.4% of the fecal specimens. All of the 14 breeding kennels were positive for G. intestinalis antigen with the range from 6.7 to 59.3%. The prevalence in puppies (54.5%) was significantly (p < 0.01) higher than that in adults (30.9%). There was no difference in prevalence between males and females, and between the puppies from the mother dogs positive and negative for Giardia antigen. In conclusion, G. intestinalis widely invaded the breeding kennels in Japan.
利用一种商用酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）试剂盒，对位于日本不同地区的14个繁殖犬舍的361只犬的粪便样本中的肠道贾第虫抗原进行了检测。在37.4%的粪便标本中检测到肠道贾第虫抗原。14个繁殖犬舍的肠道贾第虫抗原检测均为阳性，范围在6.7%至59.3%之间。幼犬的患病率（54.5%）显著高于成年犬（30.9%）（p<0.01）。雄性和雌性之间以及来自贾第虫抗原阳性和阴性母犬的幼犬之间的患病率没有差异。总之，肠道贾第虫在日本的繁殖犬舍中广泛侵袭。
