Abstract
Venous blood samples were collected 283 ewes observed in nine different regions of Maysan
province during the period from October 2012 to March 2013 for detecting toxoplasmosis by
using Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA-IgG) and latex agglutination test (LAT).
Three groups of ewes pregnant, non-pregnant and aborted were selected for both tests, and the
results showed that the rates of Toxoplasma seropositivity in aborted group is the highest,
followed by pregnant group using the LAT test (73.33% and 65.38%) respectively, while the
proportion of ewes aborted were the top (40%) in the ELISA test.
The results of LAT and ELISA tests showed that Al –Musharah subdistrict is the highest in the
seropositivity against Toxoplasma (78.26% and 39.13%) respectively. As for the relationship
between age and Toxoplasma seropositivity, the results showed that the highest seropositivity
rate in the age groups more than a year and two years (65.30% and 65.57%) respectively by
using LAT test , and high seropositivity rate (32.65) in the age group more than a year with
ELISA test.
The statistical analysis showed no significant differences(p ≥ 0.05) between the LAT and
ELISA tests with regard to Toxoplasma seropositivity
