In southwestern New Jersey during 1986 and 1987, common barn-owls and pigeons were captured on farmsteads and tested for Toxoplasma gondii antibodies by a modified direct agglutination test. In 1986, 3/28 (10.7%) adult and 0/124 nestling owls tested positive at titers of greater than or equal to 1:40. Additionally, 2/34 (5.9%) pigeons tested had T. gondii antibodies at titer of 1:320. In 1987, 9/38 (27.3%) adult and 18/80 (22.5%) nestling owls tested positive at titers of greater than or equal to 1:25; this includes 3/38 (7.9%) adult and 1/80 (1.3%) nestling owls that tested positive at a titer of 1:50.
1986年和1987年期间,在新泽西州西南部,普通仓鸮和鸽子在农庄被捕获,并通过改良直接凝集试验检测弓形虫抗体。1986年,28只成年鸮中有3只(10.7%)、124只雏鸮中无检测呈阳性,滴度大于或等于1:40。此外,检测的34只鸽子中有2只(5.9%)弓形虫抗体滴度为1:320。1987年,38只成年鸮中有9只(27.3%)、80只雏鸮中有18只(22.5%)检测呈阳性,滴度大于或等于1:25;其中包括38只成年鸮中的3只(7.9%)、80只雏鸮中的1只(1.3%)检测呈阳性,滴度为1:50。
