Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in domestic ruminants in Bangladesh.
Sera from 205 cattle, 17 sheep and 306 goats were tested for Toxoplasma gondii antibodies by using a commercial latex agglutination test. Titres considered diagnostically significant (> or = 1:64) were detected in 16.10% of cattle, 17.65% of sheep and 12.09% of goats. Results indicate that T. gondii infection in domestic ruminants in Bangladesh is widespread.
