To investigate the rabies antigen and antibody prevalences among stray dogs in Bangkok, Thailand, we took both a saliva and serum sample from each of 3314 stray dogs captured once each between December 2003 and June 2004. One 2-year-old female was antigen positive in the latex-agglutination test and confirmed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The overall antibody seroprevalence from the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay that we used was 62% (95% CI: 54, 70%). Antibody seroprevalence was greater for dogs captured within central Bangkok (86% of 1208 dogs captured) than in the dogs captured in the outskirts of the greater metropolitan area (49% of 2106 dogs captured). If our samples of stray dogs are representative, then the seroprevalence achieved from previous vaccination campaigns is too low to protect the dog and human populations.
为调查泰国曼谷流浪狗中狂犬病抗原和抗体的流行情况,我们于2003年12月至2004年6月期间,从3314只流浪狗中各采集一份唾液和血清样本,每只狗仅捕获一次。一只2岁雌性狗在乳胶凝集试验中抗原呈阳性,并经逆转录聚合酶链反应确认。我们使用酶联免疫吸附测定法得出的总体抗体血清阳性率为62%(95%置信区间:54, 70%)。在曼谷市中心捕获的狗(1208只捕获狗中的86%)的抗体血清阳性率高于在大市区郊区捕获的狗(2106只捕获狗中的49%)。如果我们的流浪狗样本具有代表性,那么之前疫苗接种活动所达到的血清阳性率过低,无法保护狗和人类群体。
