Fatal toxoplasmosis was diagnosed in a Blanford's fox (Vulpes cana) from the United Arab Emirates. Toxoplasma gondii-like tachyzoites were found associated with necrosis in intestine, spleen, liver, kidneys, lungs, skeletal muscle, brain and heart. Protozoal tachyzoites reacted positively with T. gondii-specific polyclonal antibodies. Antibodies to T. gondii were detected in 10 of 12 V. cana assayed by the latex agglutination or the modified direct agglutination test.
在一只来自阿拉伯联合酋长国的布兰福德狐（苍狐）身上诊断出致命的弓形虫病。在肠道、脾脏、肝脏、肾脏、肺、骨骼肌、大脑和心脏中发现了与坏死相关的类刚地弓形虫速殖子。原生动物速殖子与刚地弓形虫特异性多克隆抗体呈阳性反应。通过乳胶凝集试验或改良直接凝集试验对12只苍狐进行检测，其中10只检测到了抗刚地弓形虫抗体。
