Serological survey of toxoplasmosis Transvaal
Abstract
Thirty-seven per cent of 605 samples of human sera collected from four ethnic groups in South Africa gave a positive Toxoplasma indirect fluorescent antibody test at a dilution 01 1/16 or higher. The incidences in Indians (58%) and Coloureds (43%) were significantly higher than in Blacks (29%) and Whites (32%). These differences were regarded as being due to cultural rather than to socioeconomic factors. Some evidence for the importance of contact with felines in the epidemiology of toxoplasmosis is presented.
