Abstract

The prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in indigenous meat animals in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria was measured by serological examination of antibody using the Sabin-Feldman dye-test. Of 300 each of cattle, sheep, goats and pigs examined, 32.8%, 75.2%, 81.6% and 69.2% respectively, possessed significant antibody titres. These results indicate that there exists within meat animals in this area, a considerable reservoir of Toxoplasma which has the potential for transmission as zoonosis to man.

尼日尔三角洲本地肉用动物中刚地弓形虫的流行及其公共卫生意义
采用Sabin-Feldman染色法对尼日利亚尼日尔三角洲地区本地肉用动物进行抗体血清学检测,测定了刚地弓形虫的流行情况。牛、绵羊、山羊和猪各300只,抗体效价显著的分别为32.8%、75.2%、81.6%和69.2%。这些结果表明,在该地区的肉类动物中存在相当大的弓形虫库,有可能作为人畜共患病传播给人。
