Abstract
211 sera obtained from domestic animals generally used for human consumption in this area, were tested for Toxoplasma antibodies by the Indirect Haemagglutination Test (IHA). Goat (34.4%) and pig sera (26.6%) showed a higher prevalence as compared to cattle (16.6%) and sheep (7.4%). Obviously, proper precautions at every stage of the preparation of a meat dish are necessary to avoid Toxoplasma infection.
