我国东部地区缺乏犬弓形虫感染的流行病学资料。本研究于2010年8月在江苏省徐州、淮阴和盐城采集了288只犬的血清样本;用改良凝集试验（MAT）测定弓形虫抗体。抗T.弓形虫感染率为21.5%（62/288），MAT滴度为1：25的21只，1：50的15只，1：100的11只。1：200的6只，1：400及以上的3只犬。≥ 3岁犬的血清阳性率显著高于<3岁犬（P < 0.05）。本研究结果表明，江苏省家犬弓形虫感染是一个值得关注的公共卫生问题。
There is a lack of epidemiological data on Toxoplasma gondii infection in dogs from eastern China. In the present study, serum samples from 288 dogs were collected from Xuzhou, Huaiyin, and Yianchen in Jiangsu Province, eastern China, in August 2010; T. gondii antibodies were assayed by a modified agglutination test (MAT). Antibodies to T. gondii were found in 62 of 288 (21.5%) with MAT titers of 1:25 in 21 dogs, 1:50 in 15, 1:100 in 11. 1:200 in 6, and 1:400 and above in 3 dogs. The seroprevalence in >= 3-yr-old dogs was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than that in dogs less than 3-yr-old. The results of the present study indicated that infection with T gondii in household dogs in Jiangsu Province is a public health concern.
