FREQUENCY OF TOXOPLASMA GONDII IN CATS IN METOPOLITAN LIMA AND CONCORDANCE BETWEEN INDIRECT IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE AND INDIRECT HAEMAGLUTINATION TECHNIQUES
The aim of the present work was to estimate the frequency of antibodies anti- Toxoplasma gondii in cats of Lima city, and to determine the rate of concordance between the Indirect Immunofluorescence (IFI) and Indirect Haemaglutination (HAI) assays. A total of 178 cat serum samples were collected in...

| Sumario: | The aim of the present work was to estimate the frequency of antibodies anti- Toxoplasma gondii in cats of Lima city, and to determine the rate of concordance between the Indirect Immunofluorescence (IFI) and Indirect Haemaglutination (HAI) assays. A total of 178 cat serum samples were collected in veterinary clinics of varios districts of Lima. The results showed 11.2 ± 4.6% (HAI) and 17.9 ± 5.6% (IFI) positive serums to T. gondii, and without statiscal differences due to sex and age group. The Kappa (K) value was 0.73 indicating a substantial concordance between the two assays indicating that both assays can be reciprocally replaced. |
