在农场动物、伴侣动物、野生啮齿动物和鸟类中研究了弓形虫血清阳性反应的流行情况。在受试动物中，17%的牛、65%的绵羊、45%的猪、9%的马、33%的狗和20%的猫通过Sabin-Feldman染料试验呈血清阳性。此外，11%的小鼠（Mus musculus）、5%的鹿鼠（Peromyscus）、3%的大鼠（Rattus norvegicus）和不到2%的麻雀（Passer domestcus）呈血清阳性。短尾田鼠（Microtus pennsylvania icus）、松鼠（Sciurus carolinensis）、花栗鼠（Tamias striatus）、草地跳鼠（Zapus hudsonius）和椋鸟（Sturnus vulgaris）的所有样本均为血清阴性。这些发现的意义有关的弓形虫病在安大略的流行病学进行了讨论。
The prevalence of seropositive reactions to Toxoplasma gondii was studied in farm animals, companion animals, wild rodents and birds. Of the animals tested, 17% of cattle, 65% of sheep, 45% of pigs, 9% of horses, 33% of dogs and 20% of cats were seropositive by the Sabin-Feldman dye test. In addition 11% of mice (Mus musculus), 5% of deer mice (Peromyscus), 3% of rats (Rattus norvegicus) and less than 2% of sparrows (Passer domestcus) were seropositive. All samples from short-tailed field mice (Microtus pennsylvanicus), squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis), chipmunks (Tamias striatus), meadow jumping mice (Zapus hudsonius) and starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) were seronegative. The significance of these findings in relation to the epizootiology of toxoplasmosis in Ontario is discussed.
