| herd-level prevalence and associated risk factors for toxoplasma gondii, neospora caninum, chlamydia abortus and bovine viral diarrhoea virus in commercial dairy and beef cattle in eastern, northern and northeastern china. | although the seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii, neospora caninum, chlamydia abortus and bovine viral diarrhea virus infection in cattle have been reported in some areas in china, most of them were conducted with small number of cattle samples and very limited districts and neglected the assessment of herd management factors associated with herd-level prevalence of these pathogen infections. thus, from september 2013 to december 2014, a large-scale seroprevalence study was conducted to determin ... | 2015 | 26231838 |
| seroprevalence and risk factors of toxoplasma gondii infection in stray dogs in northern china. | toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic protozoan of almost all species of mammals and birds. however, no information is available about seroprevalence of the pathogen in stray dogs in seven cities from inner mongolia, jilin, liaoning province, china. using the indirect hemagglutination antibody (iha) test with a cutoff titer of 1:64, 129 (14.05 %) out of 918 stray dogs were surveyed to be t. gondii seropositive. analysis of the risk factor showed that there was no statistical difference of seroprevalen ... | 2015 | 26403980 |
| seroprevalence and risk factors of toxoplasma gondii infection in domestic sika deer (cervus nippon) in northeastern china. | toxoplasmosis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by toxoplasma gondii, which can infect warm-blooded animals and humans. a serological survey was undertaken to examine the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with t. gondii infection in sika deer in northeastern china. 114 (13.46%, 95% ci 11.16-15.76) out of 847 serum samples were positive to t. gondii by modiļ¬ed agglutination test (mat) at a 1:25 cut-off, with titers of 1:25 in 44, 1:50 in 32, 1:100 in 17, 1:500 in 11, 1:1500 or higher in 10. ... | 2014 | 25201489 |
