摘要
Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic protozoan parasite that infects humans and domestic animals. In this study, the seroprevalence of T gondii antibodies was investigated using serum samples collected from 83 sheep, 146 goats and 37 cattle from a dozen subsistence farms in Bangladesh. Fifty-eight out of 83 sheep (69.9%), 89 out of 146 goats (61.0%) and 10 out of 37 cattle (27.0%) were seropositive for the parasite. Seroprevalence in young goats (%26lt;1 year old) was significantly lower than that of the adult goats (%26gt;1 year old). In contrast, seroprevalence for young and adult sheep was similar. These results indicate that acquired infection with T gondii occurs in this region of Bangladesh, at least among goats.
