The prevalence of Toxoplasma dye-test antibody was determined in inhabitants of a number of Pacific islands, in Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia, and on Taiwan. With the exception of one island in French Polynesia, two Hawaiian islands, and Taiwan, Toxoplasma antibody prevalences were high, ranging between 84% and 100% in the adult populations tested. On the Hawaiian islands of Oahu and Hawaii, populated by several ethnic groups, and where about 50% of the total adult populations were estimated to have been infected with Toxoplasma gondii, a marked variation in prevalence of infection by ethnic group was observed. The lowest prevalence in the Hawaiian islands estimated at about 15% to 20% in adults, was observed in Japanese. On Taiwan, only 6% of adult ethnic Chinese and 1% of aborigines tested had Toxoplasma antibody.
在一些太平洋岛屿、美拉尼西亚、密克罗尼西亚和波利尼西亚以及台湾的居民中，测定了弓形虫染色试验抗体的流行情况。除了法属波利尼西亚的一个岛屿、两个夏威夷岛屿和台湾外，弓形虫抗体流行率很高，在接受检测的成年人群中，流行率在84%至100%之间。在由多个种族群体居住的夏威夷瓦胡岛和夏威夷岛，估计约50%的成年总人口感染了刚地弓形虫，观察到不同种族群体的感染流行率存在显著差异。在夏威夷岛屿，估计成年人中最低流行率约为15%至20%，在日本人中观察到这一情况。在台湾，接受检测的成年华裔中只有6%、原住民中只有1%有弓形虫抗体。
