近年来，包括中国在内的世界各地都有犬弓形虫感染的调查报告。然而，缺乏关于T.中国东北地区宠物犬弓形虫感染的研究在本研究中，我们报告了T。中国东北沈阳市宠物狗感染弓形虫的情况。对5个地区的328份宠物犬血清进行了弓形虫检测。弓形虫抗体与间接血凝抗体（IHA）测试; 10.0%的测试血清阳性。性别、年龄、地区差异无统计学意义（P > 0.05）。结果表明，T.摘要弓形虫在沈阳地区宠物犬中广泛流行，对该地区的公共卫生具有潜在的影响。
In recent years, surveys of Toxoplasma gondii infection in dogs have been reported throughout the world, including China. However, information is lacking regarding the prevalence of T. gondii infection in pet dogs in northeastern China. In the present study, we report the seroprevalence of T. gondii in pet dogs in Shenyang, northeastern China. Sera samples from 328 pet dogs in 5 districts were examined for T. gondii antibodies with an indirect hemagglutination antibody (IHA) test; 10.0% tested seropositive. There were no significant differences in terms of sex, age, and locality (P > 0.05). The results indicate that infection by T. gondii is widely prevalent in pet dogs in Shenyang, northeastern China, which has potential implications for public health in this area.
