Stool samples (n=183) collected in Romania from cats of different ages, gender, breed, living conditions and origin were analysed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a commercial kit (Giardia Microwell ELISA, SafePath Laboratories, Carlsbad, USA). Fifty-one cats (27.9%) presented Giardia duodenalis antigens. The prevalence was significantly higher in cats with diarrhoea (32%, 16/50; P=0.04) and in cats from the north-west region (36.7%, 29/79; P=0.05). Young age (up to 6 months) was identified as the risk factor for infection (OR=0.29, 95% CI 0.09-0.92; P=0.03). There weren't any significant differences associated with gender, breed, medium, lifestyle, associated parasite infections, anthelmintic treatments, type of food or season.
在罗马尼亚收集了183份不同年龄、性别、品种、生活条件和来源的猫的粪便样本，使用商用试剂盒（贾第虫微孔酶联免疫吸附测定试剂盒，SafePath Laboratories，美国卡尔斯巴德）通过酶联免疫吸附测定法进行分析。51只猫（27.9%）检测出十二指肠贾第虫抗原。腹泻猫的患病率显著更高（32%，16/50；P=0.04），来自西北地区的猫患病率也显著更高（36.7%，29/79；P=0.05）。幼龄（6个月以下）被确定为感染的危险因素（比值比=0.29，95%置信区间0.09 - 0.92；P=0.03）。在性别、品种、饲养环境、生活方式、相关寄生虫感染、驱虫治疗、食物类型或季节方面没有显著差异。
