Abstract
The prevalence of antibodies to T. gondii was investigated among equids in 3 localities of north India, using the direct hemagglutination test. Of the 603 animals sampled, titers ranging from 1:8-1:512 were found in 71 (11.8%). Specific titers of 1:64 or more were found in 34 (5.6%) sera. The number of positive titers at Babugarh (Uttar Pradesh) was considerably higher than at 2 other localities. Although the likelihood of positive sera appeared to increase with age, sex appeared to have little influence. Subjects with reproductive disorders or eye ailments did not have a high prevalence of positive titers compared with normal subjects.
