Sero-epidemiological survey of 34 blind people, 26 abattoir workers and 117 others to detect antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii was conducted. Only 15% of the blind people had positive levels of agglutinins in their sera. 42% of the abattoir workers and 25% of other donors were also serologically positive. While Toxoplasmosis is zoonotic, it does not seem that the disease was responsible for the blindness among the group that we have studied.
对34名盲人、26名屠宰场工人和117名其他人进行了血清流行病学调查，以检测弓形虫抗体。只有15%的盲人血清中凝集素水平呈阳性。42%的屠宰场工人和25%的其他献血者血清学检查也呈阳性。虽然弓形虫病是人畜共患病，但在我们所研究的群体中，这种疾病似乎并不是导致失明的原因。
