摘要: Abstract We assessed Toxoplasma gondii seroprevalence in 53 free-ranging American black bears (Ursus americanus) the Central Appalachian Mountains, US. Seroprevalence was 62% with no difference between males and females or juvenile adult bears. Wildlife agencies should consider warnings hunter education programs to reduce chances for human infection from this source.
