摘要:
Toxoplasma gondii infection is prevalent in humans and animals worldwide. In the present study, a total of 612 serum samples were examined using indirect hemagglutination test (IHAT) for T. gondii infection. Antibodies to T. gondii were detected in 49 (8.0%, confidence interval [95% CI]: 5.9-10.2) serum samples (IHA titer >/=1:16). The T. gondii seroprevalence ranged from 4.4% (95% CI: 0-10.5) to 14.3% (95% CI: 0-40.2) among different regions in Hunan province of subtropical China. The highest seroprevalence was found in breeding sows (18.8%). The T. gondii seroprevalence was higher in winter ...
