本研究是第一份报告，调查了弓形虫感染的血清阳性率在国内马在日本的各个县，并分析了血清阳性的危险因素。我们对来自日本11个都道府县的骑马/赛马（783份样本）和4组日本本土马（254份样本）进行了乳胶凝集试验。抗T.本研究检测的马弓形虫抗体阳性率为4.24%（44/1037）。至于骑马/赛马，我们没有发现统计学上不同的T。抽样地区间的弓形虫血清阳性率。而T.老年马（>21岁）的弓形虫感染率显著高于年轻马（
The present study is the first report that investigated the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in domestic horses in various prefectures of Japan and analyzed risk factors for seropositivity. We performed a latex agglutination test for riding/racing horses from 11 prefectures in Japan (783 samples) and 4 groups of Japanese native horses (254 samples). The total seroprevalence of anti-T. gondii antibody in horses examined in this study was 4.24% (44/1037). As for riding/racing horses, we did not find a statistically different T. gondii seroprevalence between sampling prefectures. In contrast, seroprevalence of T. gondii in older horses (>21 years) was significantly higher than that in younger horses (
