One hundred and ninety serum samples, mainly from children and teenagers, from northeast Bali were tested for the presence of antibodies against five zoonotic agents: Brucella abortus, Coxiella burnetii, Toxoplasma gondii, Toxocara canis and Trichinella spiralis. All children were negative for brucellosis and Q fever. A high prevalence rate was found for toxocariasis (63.2%) and trichinosis (19.5%). Antibody prevalence against T. gondii was found to be rather low (3.1%). To our knowledge, this is the first evidence of toxoplasmosis, toxocariasis and trichinosis infection in humans on Bali. Eating habits and poor hygiene may explain the frequency of parasitic infestations in the children and teenagers in Bali.
对来自巴厘岛东北部的190份主要为儿童和青少年的血清样本进行了检测,以确定是否存在针对五种人畜共患病原体的抗体,这五种病原体分别是:流产布鲁氏菌、伯氏考克斯氏体、刚地弓形虫、犬弓首蛔虫和旋毛虫。所有儿童的布鲁氏菌病和Q热检测均为阴性。发现蛔虫病(63.2%)和旋毛虫病(19.5%)的患病率很高。针对弓形虫的抗体患病率相当低(3.1%)。据我们所知,这是巴厘岛人类感染弓形虫病、蛔虫病和旋毛虫病的首个证据。饮食习惯和卫生条件差可能解释了巴厘岛儿童和青少年寄生虫感染的频率。
