Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii in red foxes in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii are world-wide spread parasites, causing serious illnesses; toxoplasmosis is also important zoonosis. Infected animals are usually without clinical signs, but there are differences in sensitivity between species. The aim of this study was to find out prevalence of N. caninum and T. gondii antibodies in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in the Czech Republic. Sera of 80 foxes were examined by indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) for presence of T. gondii antibodies; N.caninum antibodies were detected by IFAT and competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA). Antibodies against N. caninum were detected by IFAT in three (3.8%) red foxes with titre 50. These samples were simultaneously positive for T. gondii antibodies with titres 3200, 400 and 400. Neospora antibodies were detected by cELISA in two (2.5 %) red foxes with inhibition 42.7 % and 30.2 %; they were simultaneously positive for T. gondii antibodies with titres 800 and 200, respective
