虽然猫和它们的节肢动物寄生虫有时可能是人类人畜共患病的重要来源，但各种猫种群暴露于许多潜在人畜共患病因子的程度仍然没有完全描述。在这项研究中，170家猫生活在私人住宅，野猫殖民地，动物收容所从加州和威斯康星州进行了评估，血清学，以确定暴露于一组人畜共患病媒传播的病原体的水平。在17.2%的猫中观察到立克次氏体、蜱立克次体、伤寒立克次体、猫立克次体和汉赛巴尔通体的血清学阳性检测结果分别为14.9%、4.9%、11.1%和14.7%。虽然之前已经记录了猫的病媒传播疾病暴露，但在此同时对多种病原体和不同猫种群进行的评价有助于我们了解猫暴露于这些人畜共患病病原体。(C)2005年ESFM和AAFP。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Although cats and their arthropod parasites can sometimes be important sources of zoonotic diseases in humans, the extent of exposure among various cat populations to many potential zoonotic agents remains incompletely described. In this study, 170 domestic cats living in private homes, feral cat colonies, and animal shelters from California and Wisconsin were evaluated by serology to determine the levels of exposure to a group of zoonotic vector-borne pathogens. Serological positive test results were observed in 17.2% of cats for Rickettsia rickettsii, 14.9% for R akari, 4.9% for R typhi, 11.1% for R felis, and 14.7% for Bartonella henselae. Although vector-borne disease exposure has been documented previously in cats, the evaluation of multiple pathogens and diverse cat populations simultaneously performed here contributes to our understanding of feline exposure to these zoonotic pathogens.
