E. Rodriguezponce et al., SEROPREVALENCE OF GOAT TOXOPLASMOSIS ON GRAND-CANARY-ISLAND (SPAIN), Preventive veterinary medicine, 24(4), 1995, pp. 229-234
Sera drawn from 1052 Canary goats on the island of Grand Canary were t
ested to determine the prevalence of antibodies to (IgG) Toxoplasma go
ndii using an indirect ELISA test. The total prevalence was 63.31%. Si
gnificant differences were found between the island's four climatic zo
nes. The highest seroprevalence was in animals from low altitude zones
with very little rainfall, high temperatures and a predominance of tr
ade winds.
