In the present study, we first report the seroprevalence of Dirofilaria immitis in dogs in Shenyang, northeastern China. Sera from 528 randomly selected dogs were examined for D. immitis antigen using SNAP®4Dx test kit; 12.7% tested showed seropositive. No significant difference of infection was observed in different genders and breeds (P>0.05), but the difference was significant in different age groups and rearing conditions (P<0.05). The result suggested that the risk of exposure to D. immitis in dogs is high in Shenyang, and should be given attention.
在本研究中,我们首次报告了中国东北沈阳地区犬类体内犬恶丝虫的血清阳性率。使用SNAP®4Dx检测试剂盒对随机选取的528只犬的血清进行犬恶丝虫抗原检测;检测结果显示12.7%的犬血清呈阳性。不同性别和品种的犬在感染率上未观察到显著差异(P>0.05),但在不同年龄组和饲养条件下差异显著(P<0.05)。结果表明,沈阳地区犬类感染犬恶丝虫的风险较高,应予以关注。
