Antibodies to Neospora caninum were determined in the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) in the Pyrenees, north-eastern Spain. Sera from 53 red foxes (29 male and 24 female) were tested using a Neospora agglutination test (NAT). Seroprevalence at dilutions of 1/40, 1/80 and 1/160 was 69.8%, 47.2% and 7.5%, respectively. Sex differences were significant only at a dilution of 1:40. The high seroprevalence observed in red fox suggests that this species is highly exposed to N. caninum in this area.
在西班牙东北部的比利牛斯山脉地区，对赤狐（Vulpes vulpes）体内的犬新孢子虫抗体进行了检测。使用新孢子虫凝集试验（NAT）对53只赤狐（29只雄性和24只雌性）的血清进行了检测。在稀释度为1/40、1/80和1/160时的血清阳性率分别为69.8%、47.2%和7.5%。性别差异仅在稀释度为1:40时具有统计学意义。在赤狐中观察到的高血清阳性率表明，该物种在该地区高度暴露于犬新孢子虫。
