Abstract
The serological prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii was determined, using indirect haemagglutination assay, in the sera of 169 cats. Classificat ion by age, sex, alimentary, hunting and roaming habits was made in co njunction with the number of cats living in each house. An important p revalence was detected (19.5%) from 1 year of age and statistical sign ificance was found in those animals that had predatory habits or lived in groups.
