Toxoplasma gondii in zoo animals
Original language description
There are many reports on toxoplasmosis in zoo animals. In the Czech Republic, fatal toxoplasmosis was recorded in saiga and nilgais antelope and also in manuls. Several groups of zoo animals were tested for T. gondii antibodies during years 1995-2005 byindirect fluorescence antibody test (IFAT). However there are some other animal groups that have not been tested yet or method of IFAT was not suitable. Sera of 747 animals, including 59 birds and 688 mammals, from eight Czech and Slovak zoos were tested for antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii by latex agglutination test. T. gondii antibodies were detected in 33.5% (250/747) animals, concretely in 8.5% (5/59) birds and 35.6% (245/688) mammals. In case of birds, T. gondii antibodies were detected in birds belonging to anseriformes, falconiformes and psitaciformes. In case of mammals, T. gondii antibodies were found in animals from the following orders: 59.3% (54/91) carnivores, 35.3% (6/17) proboscidea, 34.7% (34/98) perissodactyla, 33.6% (
