Abstract

One hundred and ninety-five mink sera randomly selected from 17 Danish mink farms were evaluated for the presence of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in the latex agglutination test. Six (3%) sera contained T. gondii antibodies in titres of 1:64 or more. The estimated 3% prevalence means that 300,000 mink out of a total mink population of ten million might be infected with Toxoplasma gondii. This large number of possible sero-positive mink in Denmark indicates that there exists a potential risk of acquiring toxoplasmosis by pelting mink.

摘要

从17个丹麦水貂养殖场随机选取195份水貂血清，通过乳胶凝集试验评估弓形虫抗体的存在情况。6份（3%）血清中弓形虫抗体效价为1:64或更高。估计3%的流行率意味着在1000万只水貂总数中，可能有30万只水貂感染了弓形虫。丹麦大量可能血清呈阳性的水貂表明，在处理水貂皮时存在感染弓形虫病的潜在风险。
