A seroepidemiologic survey for Haemobartonella felis infection in cats of Wake County, NC was undertaken. To help assess risk factors, cat owners completed a 10-item questionnaire. Additionally, blood samples were obtained for determination of H felis presence, FeLV infection, and anemia. Prevalence rates for H felis presence were as follows: all cats, 4.9% (6/123); healthy cats, 3.6% (3/83); and ill cats, 7.5% (3/40). The estimated relative risk for haemobartonellosis was also increased in cats with any of the following: anemia, FeLV-positive status, lack of vaccinations, history of catbite abscesses and/or anemia, age less than or equal to 3 years, or outdoor-roaming status. The sex, breed, number of cats in the household, or presence of fleas were not significant factors, although ill male cats had a greater estimated relative risk for haemobartonellosis.
在北卡罗来纳州韦克县的猫中开展了一项针对猫血巴尔通体感染的血清流行病学调查。为了帮助评估风险因素，猫主人填写了一份包含10个条目的问卷。此外，采集血样以确定猫血巴尔通体的存在、猫白血病病毒（FeLV）感染和贫血情况。猫血巴尔通体存在的患病率如下：所有猫，4.9%（6/123）；健康猫，3.6%（3/83）；患病猫，7.5%（3/40）。患有以下任何一种情况的猫患血巴尔通体病的估计相对风险也会增加：贫血、FeLV阳性、未接种疫苗、有猫咬脓肿病史和/或贫血、年龄小于或等于3岁或户外游荡状态。性别、品种、家庭中猫的数量或是否有跳蚤不是显著因素，尽管患病雄猫患血巴尔通体病的估计相对风险更高。
