Seroprevalence of Bartonella henselae and Toxoplasma gondii was investigated among 471 pet cats obtained from seven private animal hospitals in Kanagawa and Saitama Prefectures during the period from May 1994 to June 1995. 'Furthermore, 67 randomly selected from the 471 serum samples were examined for the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) antibody and feline leukemia virus (FeLV) antigen. The antibody to B. henselae was examined by an indirect immunofluorescent antibody test. T. gondii, FIV and FeLV infections in cats were detected with respective commercial kits. Of the cat serum samples tested, 43 (9.1%) were found to be seropositive for B. henselae and 41 (8.7%) for T. gondii. The B. henselae-positive rate (12.9%) of male cats was significantly higher than that (5.2%) of female cats. On the other hand, T. gondii-positive rate was 9.1% in male and 8.7% in female cats and there was no significant difference in the positivity between sexes. The positive rate in each hospital varied from 0 to 19.5% for B. henselae and 4.9 to 18.8% for T. gondii. The ages of B. henselae- and T. gondii-positive cats were distributed from < 1-year-old to 14-year-old and the seropositivity increased with age of cats. Of the 67 cat serum samples, 16 and 6 cases were positive for FIV and FeLV, respectively. There was no relationship between these viral and B. henselae infections in cats.
1994年5月至1995年6月期间，对从神奈川县和埼玉县的7家私立动物医院获得的471只宠物猫进行了汉赛巴尔通体和刚地弓形虫血清流行率调查。此外，从471份血清样本中随机抽取67份，检测猫免疫缺陷病毒（FIV）抗体和猫白血病病毒（FeLV）抗原。采用间接免疫荧光抗体试验检测汉赛巴尔通体抗体。使用各自的商业试剂盒检测猫的刚地弓形虫、FIV和FeLV感染情况。在所检测的猫血清样本中，43份（9.1%）汉赛巴尔通体血清学阳性，41份（8.7%）刚地弓形虫血清学阳性。雄猫的汉赛巴尔通体阳性率（12.9%）显著高于雌猫（5.2%）。另一方面，雄猫刚地弓形虫阳性率为9.1%，雌猫为8.7%，两性之间的阳性率无显著差异。每家医院汉赛巴尔通体的阳性率在0至19.5%之间，刚地弓形虫的阳性率在4.9%至18.8%之间。汉赛巴尔通体和刚地弓形虫阳性猫的年龄分布在<1岁至14岁之间，血清阳性率随猫龄增加而升高。在67份猫血清样本中，分别有16份和6份FIV和FeLV阳性。猫的这些病毒感染与汉赛巴尔通体感染之间没有关系。
