摘要: 目的    了解安徽省芜湖市宠物猫、犬弓形虫感染情况,为制定科学的防治措施提供依据。方法    采用酶联免疫吸附试验,对在芜湖市镜湖区和弋江区宠物医院采集的136份宠物猫血液样本和217份宠物犬血液样本进行弓形虫IgG抗体的检测。结果    宠物猫、犬弓形虫IgG抗体阳性率分别为10.3%、14.7%。雄性和雌性宠物猫弓形虫IgG抗体阳性率分别为11.1%和8.7%,不同性别的宠物猫弓形虫抗体阳性率差异无统计学意义(χ2=0.346,P>0.05);>3~5岁兽龄段的宠物猫弓形虫抗体阳性率最高,为50.0%,不同兽龄段宠物猫弓形虫IgG抗体阳性率差异有统计学意义(χ2=7.674,P<0.05)。雄性和雌性宠物犬弓形虫IgG抗体阳性率分别为17.8%和7.7%,不同性别的宠物犬弓形虫抗体阳性率差异有统计学意义(χ2=4.280,P<0.05);>3~5岁兽龄段的宠物犬弓形虫抗体阳性率最高,为50.0%,不同兽龄段宠物犬弓形虫IgG抗体阳性率差异有统计学意义(χ2=12.607,P<0.05)。结论    芜湖城区宠物猫、犬均存在弓形虫感染,需提倡科学喂养,降低宠物源性弓形虫病传播的风险。

Abstract: Objective     To understand the prevalence of toxoplasmosis in pet cats and dogs in Wuhu City, Anhui Province for evidence to formulate scientific measures against this infection. Methods     136 blood samples of pet cats and 217 blood samples of pet dogs were collected, and detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for Toxoplasma gondii(T. gondii) IgG antibody. Results     Positive rate of T. gondii IgG antibody in pet cats and dogs was 10.3% and 14.7%, respectively. The positive rate of toxoplasma IgG antibody was 11.1% and 8.7%, respectively for male and female cats, without significant difference in different genders(χ2=0.346, P>0.05). The difference of positive rate of serum antibody was significant in pet cats of different ages(χ2=7.674, P<0.05), with the highest in cats aged >3~5 years(50.0%). The positive rate of T. gondii IgG antibody was 17.8% and 7.7%, respectively in male and female dogs, and the difference was significant between genders (χ2=4.280, P<0.05). The highest positive rate of serum antibody was seen in pet dogs aged >3~5 years(50.0%), and the difference was statistically significant with other age group(χ2=12.607, P<0.05). Conclusion     Toxoplasmosis appears prevalent in the pet cats and dogs in the urban area in Wuhu. The findings suggest that domestic cats and dogs should be fed in scientific manner in order to reduce the risks of transmission of toxoplasmosis from pets to humans.
