We determined the antibody prevalence of toxoplasmosis (Toxoplasma gondii infections) in antelopes in Saudi Arabia. Serum samples from 324 Gazella subgutturosa marica, 202 Gazella gazella, 70 Gazella dorcas, and 12 Arabian oryx (Oryx leucoryx) were tested by the indirect hemagglutination test. Antibodies to T. gondii were detected in 13(4.0%) G. subgutturosa marica, 12(5.9%) G. gazella, 3(4.3%) G. dorcas, and in none of the Arabian oryx sampled. More adult gazelles were seropositive than juveniles; males and females were similar. The highest reciprocal antibody titer recorded (262,144) was in a G. subgutturosa marica serum.
我们测定了沙特阿拉伯羚羊中弓形虫病（刚地弓形虫感染）的抗体流行率。通过间接血凝试验对324只鹅喉羚、202只瞪羚、70只多卡瞪羚和12只阿拉伯大羚羊（白长角羚）的血清样本进行了检测。在13只（4.0%）鹅喉羚、12只（5.9%）瞪羚、3只（4.3%）多卡瞪羚中检测到了抗刚地弓形虫抗体，而在所采集的阿拉伯大羚羊样本中均未检测到。成年瞪羚的血清阳性率高于幼年瞪羚；雄性和雌性的血清阳性率相似。所记录的最高抗体效价（262,144）出现在一只鹅喉羚的血清中。
