A survey of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in pigs in Indonesia.

In August 1994, blood samples were collected from 110 pigs at a slaughter house in Bandar Lampung (Sumatra) and from 98 pigs in a slaughter house in Ujung Pandang (Sulawesi), 208 pigs in total. Anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibody titer in these samples was surveyed using the latex agglutination test. The positivity rate was 3.6% (4/110) in Bandar Lampung, and 9.2% (9/98) in Ujung Pandang. The antibody titer was 1:128 in two and 1:512 in two in Bandar Lampung, and 1:64 in six, 1:128 in two, and 1:256 in one in Ujung Pandang, showing that the titer was higher in Bandar Lampung.
