Abstract

We evaluated the incidence of antibodies against canine distemper (CD) virus, canine parvovirus, Toxoplasrna gondii (T gondii), Aujeszky's disease virus, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, Rickettsia tsutsugarnushi, Rickettsia japonica, and Coxiella burnetii in 30 raccoon dogs and 5 deer captured in suburban areas in Kanagawa Prefecture. Among theraccoon dogs, anti-T. gondii antibody was detected in 1 animal (3.3%) and anti-CD virus antibody in 9 (30.0%). However, antibodies against the other pathogenic microorganisms were not detected in the raccoon dogs. The deer had none of the examined antibodies.
