In a serological survey of latent Toxoplasma prevalence on 3761 animals in northern India by the microtitre indirect haemagglutination test, 23.7 per cent were found to have antibody titres ranging from 1:4 to 1:1024. Seropositivity was recorded in 25.3 per cent of 1227 sheep, 30.3 per cent of 961 goats, 11.8 per cent of 603 horses, 19.3 per cent of 243 cattle, 15.7 per cent of 108 water buffaloes, 31.5 per cent of 178 pigs, 30.9 per cent of 175 dogs, 33.7 per cent of 80 cats and in 9.7 per cent of 186 bandicoot rats. Relevant epidemiological data has been furnished. High seropositivity in food animals and frequent isolations of Toxoplasma highlight the likely public health implications of the findings.
通过微量滴定间接血凝试验对印度北部3761只动物进行的弓形虫潜伏感染率血清学调查发现，23.7%的动物抗体效价在1:4至1:1024之间。在1227只绵羊中，血清阳性率为25.3%；961只山羊中为30.3%；603匹马中为11.8%；243头牛中为19.3%；108头水牛中为15.7%；178头猪中为31.5%；175只狗中为30.9%；80只猫中为33.7%；186只板齿鼠中为9.7%。已提供相关流行病学数据。食用动物的高血清阳性率以及频繁分离出弓形虫凸显了这些发现可能对公共卫生产生的影响。
