This study was carried out between June-December 2008 to determine the prevalence of toxoplasmosis in Pırlak sheep in the Şuhut district of Afyonkarahisar.
Blood samples technically collected from 123 sheep older than one year old and 63 sheep younger than one year old were tested for Toxoplasma gondii antibodies using the Sabin- Feldman dye test.
Out of the 186 sera examined, 184 (98.92%) were seropositive at different dilutions (84 samples at 1/16, 79 at 1/64 and 21 at 1/256). The seroprevalence was 99.19% for sheep above 1 year old and 98.41% for sheep under 1 year old.
We believe that this study carried out on Pırlak sheep would be useful for other studies on the effect of parasitism on the economy.
本研究于2008年6月至12月进行，以确定阿菲永卡拉希萨尔省舒胡特地区皮尔拉克羊的弓形虫病患病率。
对技术采集的123只一岁以上绵羊和63只一岁以下绵羊的血样，使用Sabin - Feldman染色试验检测弓形虫抗体。
在检测的186份血清中，184份（98.92%）在不同稀释度下呈血清阳性（84份为1/16，79份为1/64，21份为1/256）。一岁以上绵羊的血清阳性率为99.19%，一岁以下绵羊的血清阳性率为98.41%。
我们认为，这项针对皮尔拉克羊的研究将有助于其他关于寄生虫病对经济影响的研究。
