Toxoplasma gondii is a worldwide-distributed protozoon that infects warm-blooded animals. We determined T. gondii exposure in one marine otter (Lontra felina) and four domestic cats (Felis catus) along the northern and central coast of Chile, indicating a low seroprevalence of 5% (1/19) and 8% (4/50) respectively, likely related to arid environment.
刚地弓形虫是一种分布于全球的原生动物，可感染温血动物。我们测定了智利北部和中部海岸的一只海獭（南美獭）和四只家猫（家猫）的刚地弓形虫暴露情况，结果分别显示血清阳性率较低，为5%（1/19）和8%（4/50），这可能与干旱环境有关。
