Dogs can act as reservoirs of Toxoplasma gondii infections for humans and other hosts. Here we determined seroprevalence and risk factors of T. gondii infection in dogs from Andalusia (Southern Spain) and Ceuta (Northern Africa). Antibodies to T. gondii were detected in 235 out of 769 dogs (30.6%; CI95%: 27.3-33.8) by the modified agglutination test (MAT, cut-off of 1:25) with titers of 1:25 in 91, 1:50 in 43, 1:100 in 84, and ≥1:500 in 17 dogs. The main risk factors associated with T. gondii infection in dogs were age (higher seroprevalence in older dogs), hunter activity and size (higher seroprevalence in larger and medium dogs). This is the first study on T. gondii infection in pet dogs from Spain and Ceuta. The results indicate that T. gondii is widespread in dogs in mainland Spain and Ceuta, which might have important implications for public health.
狗可作为人类和其他宿主的弓形虫感染储存宿主。在此，我们确定了来自安达卢西亚（西班牙南部）和休达（北非）的犬类弓形虫感染的血清流行率及风险因素。通过改良凝集试验（MAT，截断值为1:25）在769只犬中的235只（30.6%；95%置信区间：27.3 - 33.8）检测到弓形虫抗体，其中91只犬的滴度为1:25，43只犬为1:50，84只犬为1:100，17只犬≥1:500。与犬类弓形虫感染相关的主要风险因素为年龄（老年犬血清流行率较高）、狩猎活动及体型（大型和中型犬血清流行率较高）。这是关于西班牙和休达宠物犬弓形虫感染的首次研究。结果表明，弓形虫在西班牙大陆和休达的犬类中广泛存在，这可能对公共卫生具有重要意义。
