从2004年12月至2005年4月，采用间接免疫荧光抗体试验（IFAT）对伊朗马赞达兰省不同地区屠宰的290头牛、400只山羊和588只绵羊血清样本进行了弓形虫抗体检测。山羊、绵羊和牛的弓形虫抗体阳性率分别为30%（120/400）、35%（206/588）和0%（0/290），山羊和绵羊的抗体稀释度≥ 1：16，牛的抗体稀释度≥ 1：128。牛、山羊和绵羊的最高滴度分别为1：64（0.7%）、1：128（M）和1：64（2%）。这些结果表明弓形虫抗体在动物群体中广泛存在，并表明弓形虫病是伊朗北方广泛传播的人畜共患传染病。(c)2006爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Serum samples from 290 cattle, 400 goats and 588 sheep slaughtered for food in various areas of the Mazandaran province, Iran were tested for antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii by the indirect immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT), from December 2004 to April 2005. Antibodies to T gondii were found in 30% (120/400) goats and 35% (206/588) sheep and 0% (0/290) cattle, at a dilution of 1: 16 or more for goats and sheep and 1: 128 or more for cattle. The highest titres observed in cattle, goats and sheep were 1:64 (0.7%), 1:128 (M), 1:64 (2%), respectively. These results indicate that T gondii antibodies are widespread in the animal populations and suggest that toxoplasmosis is a widely spread zoonotic infection in northern Iran. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
