From 2000 to 2002 bobcat blood samples were collected, in association with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, during the recently reactivated bobcat hunting and trapping season. Sex, age, and county/township data were recorded for each animal. Blood was tested for antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii using the modified agglutination test. In the 2-yr study, 131 bobcat samples were collected in 14 Pennsylvania counties and 109 (83%) of these had antibodies to T. gondii (titer>or=25). A two-way Chi-Square test (95% confidence interval) yielded no significance differences in antibody prevalence between males (83%) and females (88%) or adults (83%) and juveniles (77%). All 14 counties had at least one bobcat with antibodies to T. gondii.
2000年至2002年期间，在宾夕法尼亚州重新启动的山猫狩猎和诱捕季节，与宾夕法尼亚州狩猎委员会合作，采集了山猫血液样本。记录了每只动物的性别、年龄以及所在县/镇的数据。使用改良凝集试验检测血液中的弓形虫抗体。在为期两年的研究中，在宾夕法尼亚州的14个县采集了131份山猫样本，其中109份（83%）有弓形虫抗体（滴度≥25）。双向卡方检验（95%置信区间）显示，雄性（83%）和雌性（88%）或成年山猫（83%）和幼年山猫（77%）之间的抗体流行率没有显著差异。所有14个县都至少有一只山猫有弓形虫抗体。
