Abstract
Sera from healthy Greeks, Liberians and East Africans were tested for dye test and direct agglutinating toxoplasma antibodies. At a titre of 1/16 or more 137/228 Greeks, 84/133 Liberians, 2/13 Bondei infants, 3/7 Bondei adults, 3/9 Masai infants and 20/43 Baganda adults gave a dye test positive result. This confirms the wide-spread occurrence of this infection.Keywords
