Cats play crucial roles in the epidemiology of toxoplasmosis. In the present study, a total of 198companion cats of different ages were examined for serum antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii byimmunochromatography assay and for oocyst presence in faeces by microscopic examination (flotationmethod) and immunochromatography assay. The cats were selected between referred cases to the Veterinary H...
