Seroprevalence of Leptospira Infection among Stray Dogs at Northern Taiwan
台灣北區流浪犬鉤端螺旋體症的血清流行病學調查
摘要
查北部地區之流浪犬的鉤端螺旋體血清抗體陽性率，從2004年2月至7月，自北部4個縣市之收容所收集了241個犬血，總血清抗體陽性率45.6%（110/241），各別鉤端螺旋體血清群陽性盛行率如下：Shermani 27.8%，Canicola 13.3%，lcterohaemorrhagiae 9.5%，Australis 6.2%，Pyrogenes 5.8%，Javanica 4.1%，Grippotyphosa 3.7%，Bataviae 3.3%，Tarassovi 1.7%，Lyme 1.3%，及Autumnalis 0.8%。顯示流浪犬之鉤端螺旋體抗體陽性率高於就診犬，也發現流浪犬有Grippotyphosa血清群的感染。

Leptospiral seroprevalence of stray dogs at northern Taiwan was studied and sera were collected from 241 dogs in animal shelters from Feb to Jul, 2004. The overall seropositive rate was 45.6% (110/241) and the prevalence of individual serogroups was L. Shermani 27.8%, L. Canicola 13.3%, L. Icterohaemorrhagiae 9.5%, L. Australis 6.2%, L. Pyrogenes 5.8%, L. Javanica 4.1%, L. Grippotyphosa 3.7%, L. Bataviae 3.3%, L. Tarassovi 1.7%, L. Lyme 1.3%, and L. Autumnalis 0.8%. It showed the seropositive rate of stray dogs was higher than domestic dogs and the prevalence distribution of serogroups between domestic dogs and stray dogs was significantly different. The stray dogs were found with L. Grippotyphosa infection.
