In the present study, the prevalence of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in sport horses of Qazvin was examined using modified agglutination test (MAT). On 52 horse sera totally examined for anti-Toxoplasma antibodies, 37 horses (71.2%) were seropositive by MAT. Results of the present study showed a high rate of Toxoplasma infection in horses in Qazvin area. More comprehensive study on equine toxoplasmosis is recommended.
在本研究中,使用改良凝集试验(MAT)检测了加兹温运动马中抗弓形虫抗体的流行情况。在总共检测抗弓形虫抗体的52份马血清中,37匹马(71.2%)通过MAT检测为血清阳性。本研究结果表明加兹温地区马匹的弓形虫感染率很高。建议对马弓形虫病进行更全面的研究。
