弓形虫是一种重要的人畜共患病病原体，感染人类和几乎所有温血动物。人类感染的最常见来源是摄入生肉或未煮熟的肉中的组织包囊。然而，关于中国地区马和驴感染弓形虫的信息有限。在本研究中，我们报道了辽宁省东北部中国地区马和驴中弓形虫感染的血清阳性率。分别从辽宁省13个地区屠宰的马和驴中采集了711份和738份血清样本。采用改良凝集试验(MAT)检测弓形虫特异性抗体。711匹马中检出弓形虫阳性者178匹(25.0%)，滴度分别为1：25 81匹、62匹1：50、33匹1：100、2匹1：200，13个地区弓形虫阳性率为8.2%~37.0%。在738头驴中检出弓形虫抗体174头(23.6%)，滴度分别为1：25(66头)、1：50(54头)、1：100(49头)和1：200(5头)，13个不同地区的抗体阳性率在9.1%~32.6%之间。本研究结果表明，辽宁省中国东北部马、驴弓形虫感染率略高于中国地区，提示该地区食用马肉和驴肉可能是人感染弓形虫的一个潜在来源。
Toxoplasma gondii is an important zoonotic pathogen infecting humans and almost all warm-blooded animals. The most common sources of human infection are ingestion of tissue cysts in raw or undercooked meat. However, limited information is available about T. gondii infection in horses and donkeys in China. In the present study, we report the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection in horses and donkeys in Liaoning province, northeastern China. Serum samples were collected from 711 and 738 slaughtered horses and donkeys, respectively, in 13 regions of Liaoning province. The modified agglutination test (MAT) was used to test the specific antibodies to T. gondii. In this study, 178 of 711 (25.0%) horses were seropositive for T. gondii with titers of 1:25 in 81, 1:50 in 62, 1:100 in 33, and 1:200 in 2, and seroprevalence of T. gondii infection from 13 regions ranged from 8.2% to 37.0%. Antibodies to T. gondii were found in 174 of 738 (23.6%) donkeys with titers of 1:25 in 66, 1:50 in 54, 1:100 in 49, and 1:200 in 5, and seroprevalence varied in 13 different regions, ranging from 9.1% to 32.6%. The results of the present study indicated that the rate of infection with T. gondii in horses and donkeys is a little high in Liaoning province, northeastern China in comparison to other surveys in China, which suggests that consumption of horse and donkey meat in this area may represent a potential source for human infection with T. gondii.
