Abstract

The present study investigated the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) antibodies by ELISA in horses reared in Korea. Serum samples were collected from 2009 through 2013 from 816 horses reared in Korea. Analysis was performed using a commercial toxoplasmosis ELISA kit to detect anti-T. gondii antibodies. Overall, 24 out of 816 horses (2.9%) were seropositive for T. gondii. The result was analyzed by age, gender, breed and region. Significant differences were observed according to breed and region (P<0.05). This is the first nationwide serological investigation of T. gondii in horses reared in Korea. The study results reveal that T. gondii occurs nationwide in Korean horses.

摘要

本研究通过酶联免疫吸附测定法（ELISA）调查了韩国饲养马匹中弓形虫抗体的血清流行率。2009年至2013年期间，从韩国饲养的816匹马中采集了血清样本。使用商业性弓形虫病ELISA试剂盒进行分析，以检测抗弓形虫抗体。总体而言，816匹马中有24匹（2.9%）弓形虫血清学检测呈阳性。结果按年龄、性别、品种和地区进行了分析。根据品种和地区观察到显著差异（P<0.05）。这是韩国首次对全国范围内饲养马匹进行的弓形虫血清学调查。研究结果表明，弓形虫在韩国马匹中全国范围内存在。
