摘要

本研究之目的在調查金門地區家犬血液寄生蟲感染及疫苗施打現況，以期做為疫情控制之參考。於2001年12月間，在金湖鎮及金城鎮隨機採樣調查96隻有植入晶片登記家犬。利用IDEXX®（犬心絲益/愛利希體/萊姆病三合一血清ELISA檢驗檢出心絲蟲症有4.2%；愛利希體症為13.5%；重複感染有2.1%。萊姆病抗體檢出率為零。另以Giemsa's染色血液抹片於高倍油鏡下檢出12.5%犬感染愛利希體。合併ELlSA及血抹片檢驗結果顯示愛利希體總感染率為15.6%。抹片檢出感染焦蟲及肝簇蟲各有一病例。現行疫苗之施打以五合一佔1%、七合一佔9%及八合一佔10%；80%於一年內未曾施打。一年內曾施打狂犬病疫苗者估87%；結紮率為10%。犬隻曾感染壁蝨面高達有73%。目前該地區家犬心絲蟲感染屬低度感染而愛利希種感染則偏高，相關防治工作值得重視。

To understand the present status of canine blood parasites infection among housed dogs in Kinmen area, a combined ELlSA kit IDEXX® (Dirofilaria immitis, Ehrlichia canis, Borrelia burgdorferi) and microscopic examinations of Giemsa's stained blood smears were conducted in randomly chosen 96 individuals (1, 148 total population) in December 2001 . The percentage of D. imitis, E. canis and B. burgdorferi seropositive dogs were detected to be 4.2%, 13 .5% and 0% respectively and of the infected population, dual infection rate was 2.1%. Blood smear examinations revealed 12.5% of the dogs with Ehrlichia morula hosted in either monocyte or platelets. Taken together with results of ELISA kits, Ehrlichiasis was 15.6% of whole surveyed population. Infection of Hepatozoon spp. and Babesia spp. were merely observed in two single individual, respectively. Eighty percents of surveyed dogs did not receive any annual vaccine booster, whereas 87% had been immunized with the anti-Rabies vaccines within the past 12 months. Of the surveyed dogs, 10% were sterilized. Conclusively, low incidence of Dirofilariasis and relatively high prevalence of Ehrlichiasis suggest that prompt means of disease control should be undertaken to prevent from potential increasing prevalence.
