Sažetak
Results of this small serologic survey carried out by ELISA for toxoplasmosis in sheep indicate a prevalence of 48, 4%, ranging from 16, 6 up to 100 % among tested animals. During the study 10 sheep farms were screened. Antibody titers ranged from 1:32 up to 1:128 in most animals, but 10% of animals had titers greater than 1:512. Higher titers were found in those which serious reproductive problems were noted during previous lambing (abortion). Even though Toxoplasma gondii was evidently a common inhabitant of most screened farms, only 7 of seroconverted ewes had a known hystory of recent reproductive failure. According to this study, toxoplasmosis appears to be more chronic than acute, causing only occasional illness and abortion in our traditional sheep regions.
