Carbon immunoassay (CIA), a novel indirect rapid test for Toxoplasma antibody in sheep, was compared with indirect fluorescent antibody assay (IFA). CIA relies on the adherence of carbon particles of India-ink to rabbit immunoglobulin G.l Carbon labelled anti-sheep rabbit IgG was used for the detection of sheep antibody when attached to tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii. The result was read in an ordinary light microscope and there was a clearcut difference between negative and positive reactions. Out of a total of 97 sheep sera tested, 15 sera were negative in both tests and 12 were negative in CIA but showed low positive titres in IFA. The remaining 70 sera were positive in both tests but the titres were usually about 3 dilution steps lower when investigated with CIA as compared to IFA.
