    The prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii IgM and IgG antibodies in dogs and cats from the Czech Republic

  • Original language description

    Sera from 310 dogs and 286 cats from the Czech Republic were tested for antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii by the indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT). Additionally, sera were tested for antibodies to Neospora caninum by the IFAT (dogs, cats) and by imunoenzymatic assay (cELISA) (cats). The IgM antibodies to T. gondii were found in 2 (0.6%) dogs and 8 (2.8%) cats; IgG antibodies were found in 91 (29.3%) dogs and 126 (44.0%) cats. IgG antibodies to N. caninum were found in 5 (1.6%) dogs. Total of 2 (0.7%) serum samples from cats reacted positive in cELISA and IFAT. It is the first report of prevalence of antibodies to N. caninum in cats from the Czech Republic. The results of this study indicate that companion animals have more exposure to T. gondii than to N. caninum.

    Toxoplazmóza a neosporóza psů a koček v České republice

  • Czech description

    Vzorky krevních sér 310 psů a 286 koček z České republiky byly vyšetřeny na přítomnost protilátek proti Toxoplasma gondii nepřímou imunofluorescenční reakcí (NIFR). Séra byla dále vyšetřována na přítomnost protilátek proti Neospora caninum, séra psů NIFRa séra koček imunoenzymatickým testem (cELISA) a NIFR. Protilátky proti T. gondii třídy IgM byly prokázány u 2 (0,6%) psů a 8 (2,8%) koček. IgG protilátky proti T. gondii byly prokázány u 91 (29,3%) psů a 126 (44,0%) koček. IgG protilátky proti N. caninum byly prokázány u 5 (1,6%) psů. Protilátky proti N. caninum (cELISA a NIFR) byly prokázány u 2 (0,7%) koček. Jedná se o první séroprevalenční studii N. caninum u koček v České republice. Výsledky studie ukazují, že zvířata chovaná ze záliby jsou častěji infikována T. gondii než N. caninum.
