摘要：

The prevalence of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii was determined in sera from 105 domestic cats from Durango City, Mexico. Using, a modified agglutination test, antibodies to this parasite were found in 21% of the 105 cats, with titers of 1:25 in 3 cats. 1:50 in 4 cats. 1:200 in 5 cats. 1:400 in 2 cats, 1:800 in 2 cats, 1:1,600 in 4 cats, and 1:3.200 or higher in 2 cats. Cats older than 1 yr had a significantly higher frequency of infection than that found in cats younger than 0.5 yr (41 vs. 13.2%. respectively; odds ratio = 4.55; 95% CI = 1.24-17.18: P = 0.01). Overall. the seroprevalence of T. gondii antibodies in cats in Durango, Mexico, is much lower compared with those reported in other countries.
