چکیده
A survey of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii was carried out among residents in urban (Metro Manila) and rural (Mindoro and Leyte) areas in the Philippines. A total of 1,173 serum samples were examined for Toxoplasma antibody by an ELISA method. The overall seropositivity was 11.1% (n=904, 12.4% in males, 10.0% in females) in Metro Manila, 61.2% (n=152, 63.3% in males, 53.1% in females) in Mindoro, and 30.1% (n=113, 34.3% in males, 22.5% in females) in Leyte, indicating significantly higher (p<0.001) seropositivities in rural than urban settings. No significant differences in seropositivities were observed between males and females. In each group, seropositivity tended to increase with age of the subjects.
