title: [Investigation of the seropositivity of Toxoplasma gondii (Nicolle and Manceaux, 1908) in layer hens by the Sabin-Feldman Dye Test in the region of Konya].
abstract: This study was carried out on layer hens in the region of Konya between December 2004 and March 2005. During this period, blood samples were collected from a total of 287 layer hens and the sera were separated by centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 10 minutes. All the sera were investigated with the Sabin-Feldman Dye Test for Toxoplasma gondii specific antibodies. The rate of seropositivity for Toxoplasma gondii was found to be 0.34%.
