中文摘要 | 本研究自1996年1月至1997年12月止,調查高雄市流浪犬感染犬心絲蟲的情形。供試犬共87隻,分別以檢查血液中的微絲蟲、血液中成蟲抗原和屍體解剖檢查心臟及鄰近血管的成蟲等3種方法實驗之。屍體解剖檢查共有39隻犬發現成蟲,感染率為44.8%,其中公犬的感染率為42.9%,母犬的感染率為47.4%,二者無顯著性差異(P>0.05),平均每隻犬的成蟲數為4.9 ± 4.2條。以ELISA測定血中成蟲抗原有20隻犬呈陽性,其感染率為23.0%。以濾膜法檢查血液中之微絲蟲,有17隻犬呈陽性,感染率為19.5%。在所有微絲蟲呈陽性的犬,其血液抗原檢查亦呈陽性反應。ELISA 檢查法較濾膜法敏感。犬心絲蟲為犬隻重要的一種寄生蟲,必須使用預防性藥物以免進一步擴大流行。 |
英文摘要 | Survey of Dirofilaria immitis infectionin in stray dogs in Kaohsiung was evaluated during January 1996 to December 1997. The presence of circulating microfilariae, D. immitis antigens, and adult heartworms were determined by filter technique, ELISA, and post mortem examination, respectively. Adult heartworms were evident in 44.8% of the dogs examined (39/87). There was no difference in prevalence between male dogs (42.9%) and female dogs (47.4%). In infected dogs, an average of 4.9 adult worms could be found in the heart and associated blood vessels. Twenty-three and 19.5% of the dogs were positive to D. immitis antigen and circulating microfilariae, respectively. In dogs that were microfilariae-positive were also positive for D. immitis antigens. Moreover, the ELISA was determined to be more sensitive than the filter technique. This study demonstrated that dirofilaraisis is common and important parasite of dogs in Kaohsiung and that prophylaxis is necessary for controlling the endemic. |
