AbstractSera from 534 pet dogs and 335 pet cats from Beijing (China) were tested for anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or the latex agglutination test. The seropositivity by year, season, sex and age was analysed. Overall, 128 dogs (24.0%) and 50 cats (14.9%) had antibodies to T. gondii. When analysed by season, the highest seroprevalence was found in spring for dogs (31.3%) and cats (25.1%), and the differences in seroprevalence by season was statistically significant in cats (P<0.01) but not in dogs. The seroprevalence in male dogs (23.7%) and cats (15.1%) were slightly higher than their female counterparts (18.0% in dogs and 12.3% in cats). There was no obvious pattern of seropositivity or significant difference in different age groups in dogs or cats; nonetheless, a high proportion of dogs at 4 years of age were positive to T. gondii (31.8%) while cats with relatively high seropositivity rates were at 1 or 3.4 years of age (13.14%).

Toxoplasma Gondii Infection

This study was carried out in order to investigate the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in goats of seven different regions of District Dir (Lower), Pakistan. Lateral Flow Chromatographic Immunoassay (LFCI), Latex Agglutination Test (LAT) and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) were used for the detection of T. gondii infection in goats. A total of 175 blood samples were collected from goats. Out of which 70 (40%) were found positive for T. gondii. The prevalence of toxoplasmosis among goats in seven areas of District Dir (Lower) was found high at Samarbagh (48%), Balambat (44%) followed by khall (40%), Munda (40%), LalQilla (36%) and lowest in Adenzai and Timergara (36%). This study demonstrated that the prevalence in older goats was significantly (P< 0.05) higher (48.91%) than younger ones (30.12%). The seroprevalence in male and female goats were 16 (29%) and 54 (45%) respectively.

The study was carried out to determine the seroprevalence of Toxoplasmosis in sheep in Babylon province by use of two methods (latex agglutination test (LAT) and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)). The results of Latex agglutination have appeared infection rate of 13.77% (31 out of 225 animals), the higher seropositivity was in urban region 19.4% while in rural region it was 11.39%, and depending on sex of animal thus higher rate in males was 16.51% compared with females 11.2%, so the results were referred to a higher rate in young ages (less than one year) were 22.41%, and higher titer for latex agglutination test was 64 with rate 35.48%. With respect ELISA test where the results referred to that out of 31 positive samples for LAT, nine samples were positive for IgG 29.03%.
