广州市流浪犬和家庭犬弓形虫抗体频率调查。在中国，用ELISA方法检测了150头动物（36头流浪动物和114头家庭动物）的血清样本，总患病率为21.3%。流浪犬的感染率（33.3%）明显高于家庭犬（17.5%）（P < 0.05）。两组公、母犬感染率无显著性差异（P >= 0.05），流浪狗中雄性和雌性分别为31.8%和35.7%，家养狗中雄性和雌性分别为14.5%和22.2%。本研究结果表明，T。广州市犬弓形虫感染率高，尤其是流浪犬。因此，必须采取综合防治策略。流浪狗和家养狗的弓形虫感染。
The frequency of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in stray and household dogs in Guangzhou. China was examined by ELISA on serum samples from 150 animals (36 strays and 114 from households) and the overall prevalence was 21.3%. The extent of infection in stray dogs (33.3%) was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than in household dogs (17.5%). Infection in male and female dogs of both groups was not significantly different (P >= 0.05), i.e., 31.8% versus 35.7% for male and female in stray dogs, and 14.5% versus 22.2% in household dogs. The results of the present investigation indicate that the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection in dogs was high in Guangzhou, especially in strays. Therefore, it is essential to implement integrated strategies to prevent and control T. gondii infection in both stray and household dogs.
