title: Rapid immunochromatographic test using recombinant SAG2 for detection of antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii in cats.
abstract: An immunochromatographic test using recombinant truncated surface antigen 2 for detection of antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii was developed. Evaluation of detection of the antibody in mice and cats suggests that this test is rapid, simple, accurate, relatively inexpensive, and suitable for use under field conditions.
