An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with Toxocara canis excretion--secretion (TES) antigen was used for determination the seroprevalence of Toxocara canis infection in healthy population of several districts in Czech Republic. It was found that the seropositivity ranged from 5.8% to 36.0% in various districts. Valuation by sex, age, profession of the examined persons and different type of their habitation (urban or rural) was used. It is obvious that the percentage of seropositivity rise in dependence on the age of examined persons. This fact may be attributed to the longlasting serological positivity detected in ELISA reaction. Almost in all districts the positivity was higher in inhabitants with a rural type of habitation in comparison with urban residents. The geographical conditions in various districts play an important role in seropositivity of the population too.
采用犬弓首蛔虫排泄分泌（TES）抗原的酶联免疫吸附试验（ELISA）来测定捷克共和国几个地区健康人群中犬弓首蛔虫感染的血清流行率。结果发现，不同地区的血清阳性率在5.8%至36.0%之间。研究对受检者的性别、年龄、职业以及不同居住类型（城市或农村）进行了评估。显然，血清阳性率的百分比随着受检者年龄的增长而上升。这一事实可能归因于ELISA反应中检测到的长期血清学阳性。几乎在所有地区，农村居住类型的居民的阳性率高于城市居民。不同地区的地理条件在人群血清阳性率方面也起着重要作用。
