摘要：
Little information on epidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii infection in pigeons was available in People's Republic of China. In the present study, sera from 275 pigeons raised in different commercial flocks in Guangdong Province of southern China were evaluated using modified agglutination test (MAT). Specific antibodies were found in sera of 8.7% of 275 pigeons (MAT titer >= 1:5), and the seropositivity of eight herds we surveyed varied ranging from 0 to 18.2%. The results demonstrated the circulation of T. gondii in the examined pigeon farms, which poses potential risk for human infection with T. gondii. To our knowledge, this is the first seroprevalence survey of pigeons infected by T. gondii in People's Republic of China. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
