Abstract
Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii specific antibodies in domestic (Columba livia domestica) and wild (Columba livia livia) pigeons between October 2003-June 2004.
Methods: Blood samples were collected from 216 pigeons, consisting of 105 (55 female, 50 male) domestic pigeons and 111 (53 female, 58 male) wild pigeons. The sera were tested for T. gondii antibodies using the Sabin Feldman Dye Test (SFDT).
Results: One of the 105 (0.95%) domestic pigeon and one of the 111 (0.90%) wild pigeon were found to be seropositive for T. gondii antibodies at the titer of 1:16.
Conclusion: This is the first serological study on toxoplasmosis in the domestic and wild pigeon in the Niğde region of Turkey.
目的:调查2003年10月至2004年6月间家鸽和野鸽体内刚地弓形虫特异性抗体的流行情况。方法:采集家鸽105只(母鸽55只，公鸽50只)，野鸽111只(母鸽53只，公鸽58只)，共216只。采用Sabin Feldman Dye Test (SFDT)检测血清中弓形虫抗体。结果105只家鸽(0.95%)和111只野鸽(0.90%)血清弓形虫抗体均呈1∶16滴度阳性。结论:在土耳其Niğde地区首次对家鸽和野鸽进行了弓形虫病血清学研究。
