The seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in Tibetan sheep was surveyed in Qinghai Province, northwestern China, in May and June 2010. In total, 580 serum samples was collected from 6 counties, and antibodies to T. gondii were detected by indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test. Antibodies to T. gondii were found in 29.8% (173/580); regional differences showed the highest prevalences in Nangqian County (39.4%) and Zaduo County (48.7%). The results of the present study indicate that infection with T. gondii in sheep is widely spread in China, including Tibetan sheep in Qinghai Province, and is a potential public health concern.
2010年5月和6月，在中国西北部的青海省对藏羊弓形虫感染的血清流行率进行了调查。总共从6个县采集了580份血清样本，并通过间接血凝试验（IHA）检测了抗弓形虫抗体。发现29.8%（173/580）的样本存在抗弓形虫抗体；地区差异显示囊谦县（39.4%）和杂多县（48.7%）的流行率最高。本研究结果表明，绵羊中的弓形虫感染在中国广泛传播，包括青海省的藏羊，这是一个潜在的公共卫生问题。
