BACKGROUND
is an obligate intracellular parasite, which can infect all nucleated cells in a variety of vertebrate animals, including human, causing toxoplasmosis. Although a number of studies have reported on the seroprevalence of infection in dogs in China, however, information about infection in pet dogs in Anhui, China is not available.
METHODS
The modified agglutination test (MAT) was used to detect antibodies in sera samples from 468 pet dogs at Anhui Province in China from November 2013 to April 2017.
RESULTS
18.6% animals were seropositive, indicating a slightly higher prevalence of infection in pet dogs in Anhui, China in comparison with other provinces in China.
CONCLUSION
Our present study provided epidemiological data on seroprevalence in pet dogs in Anhui, China for the effective prevention and control of the parasite prevalence in this area.
背景
是一种专性细胞内寄生虫，可感染包括人类在内的多种脊椎动物的所有有核细胞，引起弓形虫病。尽管已有多项研究报道了中国犬类感染的血清流行率，然而，关于中国安徽宠物犬感染的信息尚无。
方法
采用改良凝集试验（MAT）检测2013年11月至2017年4月中国安徽省468只宠物犬血清样本中的抗体。
结果
18.6%的动物弓形虫血清学呈阳性，表明中国安徽宠物犬的感染率略高于中国其他省份。
结论
我们目前的研究提供了中国安徽宠物犬弓形虫血清流行率的流行病学数据，以便有效预防和控制该地区寄生虫的流行。
