The prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in indigenous meat animals in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria was measured by serological examination of antibody using the Sabin-Feldman dye-test. Of 300 each of cattle, sheep, goats and pigs examined, 32.8%, 75.2%, 81.6% and 69.2% respectively, possessed significant antibody titres. These results indicate that there exists within meat animals in this area, a considerable reservoir of Toxoplasma which has the potential for transmission as zoonosis to man.
采用Sabin-Feldman染色试验对抗体进行血清学检测，以测定尼日利亚尼日尔三角洲地区本地肉用动物中弓形虫的流行情况。在所检测的牛、羊、山羊和猪中，各300头，分别有32.8%、75.2%、81.6%和69.2%的动物具有显著的抗体效价。这些结果表明，该地区的肉用动物体内存在大量的弓形虫储存库，有可能作为人畜共患病传播给人类。
