Ninety-six feral cats from Prince Edward Island were used to determine the prevalence of selected infectious agents. The prevalence rates were 5.2% for feline immunodeficiency virus, 3.1% for feline leukemia virus, 3.1% for Mycoplasma haemofelis, 8.4% for Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum, 2.1% for Bartonella spp. and 29.8% for exposure to Toxoplasma gondii. Oocysts of T. gondii were detected in 1.3% of the fecal samples that were collected. Gender and retroviral status of the cats were significantly correlated with hemoplasma infections. Use of a flea comb showed that 9.6% of the cats had fleas; however, flea infestation was not associated with any of the infectious agents.
来自爱德华王子岛的96只野猫被用于确定特定传染源的流行率。猫免疫缺陷病毒的流行率为5.2%,猫白血病病毒为3.1%,溶血支原体为3.1%,溶血隐秘支原体为8.4%,巴尔通体属为2.1%,弓形虫暴露率为29.8%。在采集的1.3%的粪便样本中检测到了弓形虫卵囊。猫的性别和逆转录病毒状态与血支原体感染显著相关。使用跳蚤梳检查发现,9.6%的猫身上有跳蚤;然而,跳蚤感染与任何传染源均无关联。
