The aim of the investigation was to determine the prevalence of T. gondii among a domestic cat population in an urban area in Olsztyn. In total, 135 serum samples of cats collected in several veterinary outpatient clinics in Olsztyn were examined by direct agglutination assay. The Toxo-Screen DA BioMerieux commercial test detected anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibodies. The results of studies indicated that cats bred under different conditions in the city of Olsztyn have contact with various forms of invasive T. gondii. The high percentage of seropositive results at a 1:40 dilution (65.9%) suggests a past infection, and the high percentage of seropositive cases at a 1:4000 dilution (68,1%) indicates a current or recent toxoplasmosis process. This could indicate that there is a permanent source of T. gondii infection in the habitable environment of the cats. The high percentage of T. gondii seropositive results among domestic cats in Olsztyn proves the presence of circulation of the parasite in the environment.
这项调查的目的是确定在奥尔什丁市区家猫群体中弓形虫的感染率。总共对在奥尔什丁几家兽医门诊所采集的135份猫血清样本进行了直接凝集试验检测。使用BioMerieux公司的Toxo-Screen DA商业检测法检测抗弓形虫IgG抗体。研究结果表明,在奥尔什丁市不同条件下饲养的猫接触到了各种形式的侵袭性弓形虫。1:40稀释度时血清阳性结果的高比例(65.9%)表明过去曾感染,而1:4000稀释度时血清阳性病例的高比例(68.1%)表明当前或近期有弓形虫病感染过程。这可能表明在猫的居住环境中存在弓形虫感染的永久来源。奥尔什丁家猫中弓形虫血清阳性结果的高比例证明了该寄生虫在环境中的循环存在。
