ABSTRACT
We detected the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii (T.gondii) in the wild birds in northeast China.The wild bird's blood was collected from the cutaneous ulnar vein and the serum was isolated and used for detection of anti T.gondii antibody by modified agglutination test (MAT).Results showed that totally 179 birds' serum samples were collected.Twenty serum samples (11.17%) were positive with T.gondii antibody,which belonged to 9 orders,17 families and 31 species.The seroprevalence against T.gondii was about 5.26% (1/19) in Columbiformes,9.09% (9/99) in Passeriformes,14.29% (3/21) in Falconiformes,15.00% (5/22) in Piciformes,16.67% (1/6) in Coraciiformes,and 25.00% (1/4) in Anseriformes.Based on their feeding behavior,the seroprevalence was 12.00% (3/25) in carnivorous wild birds,10.60% (15/141) in omnivorous wild birds,and 15.38% (2/13) in the wild birds feeding on aquatic animals or plants.These wild birds also can be sorted as migratory and sedentary (non-migratory) according to their migration habits,and the serum positivity was 11.67% (14/120),and 10.71% (6/59) respectively.The seroprevalence against Toxoplasma gondii in wild birds in northeast China is about 11.17%,which indicates a common infection of Toxoplasma gondii in wild birds.
