We investigated antibody seroprevalence in free-ranging caracals () in Cape Town, South Africa, from 2014 to 2017. Seropositivity was 83% (24/29), which is substantially higher than that detected in sympatric feral domestic cat () populations. The impact of this pathogen on local human and wildlife communities may be of concern.
2014年至2017年，我们对南非开普敦自由放养的狞猫（）的抗体血清阳性率进行了调查。血清阳性率为83%（24/29），显著高于同域野生家猫（）种群的检测率。这种病原体对当地人类和野生动物群落的影响可能令人担忧。
