Abstract
Over 3% of the wild Norway rats of Memphis were demonstrated to be infected with T. gondii by inoculating mice or guinea pigs with suspensions of brain tissue. Sabin-Feldman dye tests were run on 100 rats and 20 were positive. No correlation between dye test and results of inoculation of tissues was evident.Keywords
