| Abstract | ||
| Our study tried to determine the specific toxplasmosis antibodies for (27) serum samples had been collected from butchers and (52) sera from slaughterhouse workers in Nenava governorate by using the Latex Agglutination test (LAT) and IgM Enzyme Immunosorbent Assay test (IgM ELISA),in addition to take some important data and their relation with increasing infectivity. The result indicated that the rate of Toxoplasma gondii specific antibodies by using Latex Agglutination test (LAT) in butchers was (59.3 %) and the slaughterhouse workers was (53.8 %) . The result also indicated that the age group (41-50) years gave the highest positive ratio for infection in butchers and slaughterhouse workers , it was (56.2 %), (42.8 %) respectively. The rate of acute infection in testing samples by IgM-ELISA test was (54.5 %) whereas the rate of chronic infection of the same sample was (45.4 %) . | ||
