본 연구는 한국의 대전과 충남 지역에 있는 개 100마리에서 실내견 (25마리)과 실외견 (75마리)을 구분하여 지알디아증의 유병률을 조사하였다. 모든 샘플은 Giardia SNAP 키트($SNAP^{(R)}$ test, IDEXX Laboratories, Inc., Westbrook, ME)를 이용하여 감염여부를 조사하였다. 지알디아증은 실외견(11/75, 14.66%)이 실내견(1/25, 4.00%) 보다 유의성 있는 높은 유병률은 나타내었다. 또한 자견(< 2yr: 10/51, 19.60%)이 성견(> 2yr: 2/49, 4.08%) 보다 유의성 있는 높은 유병률은 나타내었다. 임상증상을 나타내는 개는 증상이 없는 개보다 높은 유병률을 나타내었으나 (증상: 4/22, 18.18%, 무증상: 9/78, 11.54%) 통계학적으로 유의하지는 않았다. 실외견 중 분리되어 단독으로 기르는 개(2/50, 4.00%)보다 합사하여 여러 마리가 같이 생활하는 개(9/25, 36.00%)에서 높은 유병률을 나타내었다. 세계 여러 나라의 다양한 지역에서 지알디아증 유병률에 대한 조사는 많이 진행되었으나, 사육 패턴에 따른 유병률을 평가한 적은 없기에 본 연구의 의의가 있다.

A total number of 100 fecal samples were examined for the presence of Giardia intestinalis infection in dogs using a Giardia ELISA kit (SNAP$^{(R)}$ test, IDEXX Laboratories, Inc., Westbrook, ME). 49 males and 51 females were examined for a G. intestinalis infection in Daejeon and Chungnam area of South Korea. The overall positive rate of G. intestinalis infection was 12.00%. G. intestinalis infection resulted to be more prevalent in males (12.24%) than in females (11.76%), and in symptomatic dogs (18.18%) than in asymptomatic dogs (11.54%). There were no significant differences between the two groups. 19.60% being found in the < 2-year-old group, 4.08% in the over 2 year-old group. $X^2$ analysis revealed a significantly higher prevalence (p < 0.05) in the < 2-year-old group than in the other, and a significantly higher prevalence in dogs kept in a shared kennel (36.00%, p < 0.001). This study is the first survey of G. intestinalis infection prevalence in South Korea according to life style (particularly between dogs kept in a shared kennel and that of dogs kept separately) using an ELISA kit, and this study is expected to provide a useful reference for clinicians and breeders.

제안 방법
This study is also performed to make a survey on the prevalence of canine giardiasis in the Daejeon and Chungnam areas of South Korea, and to make a comparison between dogs reared together in kennel to that of dogs kept separated through ELISA kit.
This study is the first survey that used a commercial Giardia ELISA kit to analyze the prevalence of Giardia in Korea according to life style, and in particular between dogs kept in a shared kennel as that of dogs kept separately. It revealed a significantly higher prevalence in the group of shared kennel (36.
데이터처리
The prevalence of Giardia in dogs was examined according to sex, breed, age ([ 2 year, 2-5 years, and ] 5 years old), residence environment (indoor, outdoor), lifestyle (shared kennel, separated) and compared using a X2 test with the IBM SPSS Statistics (Version 22.0, IBM software, USA). Results were considered significantly different with p < 0.
성능/효과
A total of 100 fecal samples were examined between January 2014 and May 2015 for the presence of Giardia intestinalis infections. All cases, 49 male and 51 female dogs consisted of 16 breeds (Beagle = 3, Bull Dog = 2, Chihuahua = 3, Cocker Spaniel = 3, Dachshunds = 3, German Shepherd Dog = 2, Golden Retriever = 3, Labrador Retriever = 5, Malinois = 5, Pit Bull = 48, Poodle = 2, Pomeranian = 3, Samoyed = 1, Shih Tzu = 2, Yorkshire Terrier = 2 and Mongrel = 13) aged from 2 months to 11 years of age (mean = 2.11 years). Seventy-five dogs were reared in outdoor environment (reside in a backyard kennel), and twenty-five dogs were reared indoor (reside with people in the house).
In our study, the results showed that the overall positive rate was 12%, 19.6% being observed in the < 2 year-old group, and 4.08% being observed in the over 2 year-old group.
