Toxoplasma antibodies in immigrants from Hong Kong.
The sera of 200 Chinese adults recently immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong were examined for antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii by the indirect fluorescent antibody technique. It was found that the total incidence was 18.0%. This is significantly lower than that of the indigenous population of the same age groups in this area.
