Abstract

This study was carried out in order to determine the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in Libyan sheep. A total of 253 sera taken from sheep were examined using a latex agglutination test. Out of 253 samples tested 103 (40.71%) were determined as seropositive. The prevalence of Toxoplasma antibodies was higher in adult sheep         (≥1-year-old), and in female than male. These results indicate that ovine toxoplasmosis is widespread in Tripoli area.
