Local breed of chicken were surveyed serologically, using indirect haemagglutination test (IHA), for Toxoplasma infection. From a total of 250 chickens, 112 (44.80%) were seropositive at a screening dilution of 1:64. Of these 112, 58.00% were positive at 1:64; 30.36% at 1:128; 10.71% at 1:256; and 0.89% at 1:512. The results of this study point to the possible significant role of chickens in the epidemiology of animal and human toxoplasmosis in Zaria.
采用间接血凝试验（IHA）对当地鸡种进行弓形虫感染的血清学调查。在总共250只鸡中，112只（44.80%）在1:64的筛查稀释度下血清呈阳性。在这112只中，58.00%在1:64时呈阳性；30.36%在1:128时呈阳性；10.71%在1:256时呈阳性；0.89%在1:512时呈阳性。本研究结果表明，鸡在扎里亚动物和人类弓形虫病的流行病学中可能起着重要作用。
