title: Prevalence of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii among bobcats of West Virginia and Georgia.
abstract: Bobcats (Felis rufus) from West Virginia and Georgia were examined for Toxoplasma gondii serum antibodies and fecal oocysts. Of the 150 bobcats, 27 (18%) had antibody titers greater than or equal to 1:16, as detected by the indirect hemagglutination test. Oocysts typical of T gondii were not seen in any of the fecal specimens.
