Abstract

Blood from endangered San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica) inhabiting the Elk Hills Naval Petroleum Reserve, Kern County, and the Elkhorn Plain, San Luis Obispo County, California, was collected in 1981, 1982 and 1984 and sera were tested for antibodies against 10 selected pathogens. Proportions of kit fox sera containing antibodies against pathogens were: canine parvovirus, 100% in 1981-1982 and 67% in 1984; infectious canine hepatitis virus, 6% in 1981-1982 and 21% in 1984; canine distemper virus, none in 1981-1982 and 14% in 1984; Francisella tularensis, 8% in 1981-1982 and 31% in 1984; Brucella abortus, 8% in 1981-1982 and 3% in 1984; Brucella canis, 14% in 1981-1982 and none in 1984; Toxoplasma gondii, 6% in 1981-1982; Coccidioides immitis, 3% in 1981-1982; and Yersinia pestis and Leptospira interrogans serotypes canicola, grippotyphosa, hardjo, icterohaemorrhagiae, and pomona, none in 1981-1982. Although antibodies against selected pathogens were present, no clinical indications of disease were observed in these fox populations.

摘要

1981年、1982年和1984年采集了生活在加利福尼亚州克恩县埃尔克山海军石油储备区以及圣路易斯奥比斯波县埃尔克霍恩平原的濒危圣华金小狐（Vulpes macrotis mutica）的血液，并检测血清中针对10种选定病原体的抗体。含有针对病原体抗体的小狐血清比例如下：犬细小病毒，1981 - 1982年为100%，1984年为67%；犬传染性肝炎病毒，1981 - 1982年为6%，1984年为21%；犬瘟热病毒，1981 - 1982年无，1984年为14%；土拉弗朗西斯菌，1981 - 1982年为8%，1984年为31%；流产布鲁氏菌，1981 - 1982年为8%，1984年为3%；犬布鲁氏菌，1981 - 1982年为14%，1984年无；刚地弓形虫，1981 - 1982年为6%；粗球孢子菌，1981 - 1982年为3%；鼠疫耶尔森菌以及问号钩端螺旋体犬型、致热型、黄疸出血型、波摩那型和哈焦型血清型，1981 - 1982年无。尽管存在针对选定病原体的抗体，但在这些狐群中未观察到疾病的临床迹象。
