Père David's deer (Elaphurus davidianus) is an emblematic endangered species and regarded as a national treasure, toxoplasmosis is a serious zoonotic parasitic disease for wild animals. Little is known about the prevalence of antibodies to this parasite in Père David's deer. In this study, sera from 43 wild Père David's deer, from Dafeng nature reserve China were tested for antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii by MAT. The investigation showed that antibodies to toxoplasma were detected in 8 of 43 (18.60%, 95% CI 6.97-30.24) samples. Seroprevalence ranged from 15.00% to 21.74% between the different genders, but the difference was not significant according to SPSS analysis (P > 0.05). This report of seroprevalence of antibodies to T. gondii in Père David's deer provides basic data of T. gondii infection data, which is important for controlling and preventing toxoplasmosis in Père David's deer.
麋鹿(Elaphurus davidianus)是一种标志性的濒危物种,被视为国宝,弓形虫病是一种严重的野生动物人畜共患寄生虫病。关于麋鹿中这种寄生虫抗体的流行率知之甚少。在这项研究中,通过 MAT 检测了来自中国大丰自然保护区的 43 只野生麋鹿的血清,以检测对弓形虫的抗体。调查显示,在 43 份样本中,有 8 份(18.60%,95%CI 6.97-30.24)检测到了弓形虫抗体。根据 SPSS 分析,不同性别之间的血清阳性率从 15.00%到 21.74%不等,但差异不显著(P>0.05)。本报告提供了关于麋鹿弓形虫抗体流行率的基本数据,这对于控制和预防麋鹿弓形虫病非常重要。
