摘要

免疫丝虫是一种媒介介导的人畜共患寄生虫，可引起人类和动物严重的心肺问题。虽然狗是这种寄生虫的主要宿主，但近年来，它在猫身上的重要性日益增加，特别是在流行地区。本研究的目的是确定土耳其爱琴海地区猫感染的发生情况。该研究的动物材料包括200只不同品种和年龄(至少1岁)和两性的猫。用商业免疫层析试剂盒检测猫的免疫D.炎、猫免疫缺陷病毒(FIV)抗体和猫白血病病毒(FeLV)抗原。此外，使用直接血液涂片技术和改进的Knott试验对血液样本进行微丝虫检查。在200只猫中，1只(0.5%)猫免疫弓形虫血清呈阳性，15只(7.5%)猫FIV血清呈阳性，1只(0.5%)猫FeLV血清呈阳性。一只免疫弓形虫血清阳性的猫表现出活跃的心丝虫感染迹象。所有样本均经直接血液检查和改进Knott法检测微丝虫病阴性。本研究首次报道了爱琴海地区出现的弓形虫病，血清阳性率为0.5%。此外，它还提供了证据，表明爱琴海地区的猫有感染弓形虫炎的风险。

Occurrence of Dirofilaria immitis in cats from the Aegean region in Turkey

Dirofilaria immitis (D. immitis) is a vector-mediated zoonotic parasite that can cause significant cardiopulmonary problems in humans and animals. Although dogs are the main hosts of the parasite, in recent years, its importance has been increasing in cats, especially in endemic areas. This study aims to determine the occurrence of D. immitis infection in cats in the Aegean region, Turkey. The animal material of the study consisted of 200 cats of different breeds and ages (at least 1 year old) and both sexes. The cats were tested for D. immitis and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) antibodies and Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV) antigen with commercial immuno-chromatographic test kits. In addition, blood samples were examined for microfilariae using a direct blood smear technique and the modified Knott’s test. Out of 200 cats, one (0.5%) cat was seropositive for D. immitis, 15 (7.5%) cats were seropositive for FIV, and one (0.5%) cat was seropositive for FeLV. One cat seropositive for D. immitis was showing signs of active heartworm infection. All samples were found negative for microfilariae by direct blood examination and the modified Knott’s method. This study is the first report of the occurrence of D. immitis in the Aegean Region, with a seroprevalence of 0.5%. Also, it provides evidence that cats in the Aegean region are at risk of becoming infected with D. immitis.

期刊介绍： "Medycyna Weterynaryjna" publishes various types of articles which are grouped in the following editorial categories: reviews, original studies, scientific and professional problems, the history of veterinary medicine, posthumous memoirs, as well as chronicles that briefly relate scientific advances and developments in the veterinary profession and medicine. The most important are the first two categories, which are published with short summaries in English. Moreover, from 2001 the editors of "Medycyna Weterynaryjna", bearing in mind market demands, has also started publishing entire works in English. Since 2008 the periodical has appeared in an electronic version. The following are available in this version: summaries of studies published from 1999 to 2005, full versions of all the studies published in the years 2006-2011 (in pdf files), and full versions of the English studies published in the current year (pdf). Only summaries of the remaining studies from the current year are available. In accordance with the principles accepted by the editors, the full versions of these texts will not be made available until next year. All articles are evaluated twice by leading Polish scientists and professionals before they are considered for publication. For years now "Medycyna Weterynaryjna" has maintained a high standard thanks to this system. The review articles are actually succinct monographs dealing with specific scientific and professional problems that are based on the most recent findings. Original works have a particular value, since they present research carried out in Polish and international scientific centers.
