There is a lack of information regarding the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in sheep from northeastern China. In the present study, serum samples from 566 domestic sheep were collected from Liaoning Province, northeastern China, to investigate the prevalence of T. gondii antibodies using an indirect hemagglutination antibody test. Twenty-five of 566 samples (4.4%) were seropositive at the cutoff of 1:64 serum dilution. No difference was found among 6 geographic regions (P > 0.05). This is the first report of T. gondii infection in sheep in Liaoning Province.
关于中国东北地区绵羊弓形虫感染率的信息匮乏。在本研究中,从中国东北地区辽宁省采集了566份家羊血清样本,采用间接血凝抗体试验调查弓形虫抗体的感染率。在血清稀释度为1:64的临界值下,566份样本中有25份(4.4%)血清呈阳性。6个地理区域之间未发现差异(P>0.05)。这是辽宁省绵羊弓形虫感染的首次报告。
