'Toxoplasma gondii' Haemagglutinating Antibody Titers in Indonesian Goats.

摘要

Sera of 465 goats from several of the Indonesian islands were tested for indirect haemagglutinating (IHA) antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii. Titers > or = were found in 24% of the animals with approximately 11% having titers of > or = 256. Sera from pigs, cows, water buffaloes and horses were also tested and only pig sera had IHA antibodies at titers above > or = 16. The possible role of goats in transmission of toxoplasmosis is discussed briefly. (Author)
