In recent years, worldwide surveys of Toxoplasma gondii infection in dogs have been reported. However, only limited surveys of T. gondii infection in police dogs have been available, including China. In the present study, we report the seroprevalence of T. gondii in police dogs in Shenyang, northeastern China. Sera from 291 police dogs were examined for T. gondii antibodies with the modified agglutination test (MAT), and 30.9% animals were tested seropositive. The results of the present study indicated a relatively high prevalence of T. gondii infection in police dogs in Shenyang, China.
近年来,已有关于犬弓形虫感染的全球调查报道。然而,包括中国在内,关于警犬弓形虫感染的调查却很有限。在本研究中,我们报告了中国东北部沈阳市警犬弓形虫的血清阳性率。采用改良凝集试验(MAT)对291只警犬的血清进行弓形虫抗体检测,30.9%的动物检测为血清阳性。本研究结果表明,中国沈阳市警犬的弓形虫感染率相对较高。
