Abstract

In this study, the relationship between the IgA antibody activities to Toxocara canis infection in dogs and their parasitologic status has been examined. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was applied to the sera of dogs for the detection of the specific IgA antibodies and at the same time, autopsy and stool examination were performed on these dogs.

The most elevated IgA antibody levels were observed in the one-month age group of puppies. Thereafter, the levels gradually decreased until six and 10 months of age. These low levels were maintained in adult dogs. However, the IgA antibody activities were not related to the age and the number of worms when the correlation coefficients were calculated. It was suggested from the results obtained that the elevated IgA antibodies at one month of age may have been due to the locally stimulated immunitiy by the adult worms grown up in the intestines and as a result, could be detected in the circulation.

犬弓形虫寄生状态与IgA抗体活性的关系

本研究检测了犬弓形虫感染IgA抗体活性与犬寄生状态的关系。采用酶联免疫吸附法对犬血清进行特异性IgA抗体检测，同时对犬进行尸检和粪便检查。在1个月大的幼犬中观察到IgA抗体水平最高。此后，水平逐渐下降，直到6个月和10个月大。这些低水平在成年犬中保持不变。然而，计算相关系数时，IgA抗体活性与虫龄和虫数无关。结果表明，1月龄时IgA抗体升高可能是由于在肠道中生长的成虫局部刺激免疫，因此可以在循环中检测到。
