The aim of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in pet dogs and stray dogs in Kocaeli province using the Sabin-Feldman Dye Test. A total of 116 dogs were examined and 81 (69.8%) were found to be positive. Seropositivity was found to be 59.6% in male dogs and 78.1% in female dogs (p<0.05). Seropositivity was 62.5% in pet dogs and 71.7% in stray dogs (p>0.05). The seropositivity was found to be 68.2%, 75.6% and 62.5% in the 0-1, 1-3, and over 3 age groups, respectively. As a result, the high seropositivity of dog toxoplasmosis in Kocaeli province has been found to be important.
本研究的目的是使用萨宾-费尔德曼染色试验调查科贾埃利省宠物狗和流浪狗中弓形虫的血清阳性率。共检查了116只狗，发现81只（69.8%）呈阳性。雄性狗的血清阳性率为59.6%，雌性狗为78.1%（p<0.05）。宠物狗的血清阳性率为62.5%，流浪狗为71.7%（p>0.05）。0-1岁、1-3岁和3岁以上年龄组的血清阳性率分别为68.2%、75.6%和62.5%。结果发现，科贾埃利省犬弓形虫病的高血清阳性率具有重要意义。
