| pubmed-article:8454443 | pubmed:abstractText | Sera from 1,315 inhabitants of the Tel-Mond area were tested by the indirect immunofluorescent and Sabin Feldman tests for Toxoplasma antibodies. The overall prevalence of antibodies was 29.3%. Antibodies rose with age from 9.9% in the 1-4 year age-group up to 40.9% in the 45 age-group. There was no significant difference in prevalence of antibodies between the sexes. The prevalence of antibodies to Toxoplasma was lower in those born in Israel (21.2%) than in immigrants from Europe, America, Australia (49.4%), and Africa, Asia (40.8%) in the age groups of 20-45+. An extremely high prevalence of antibodies (41.5%) was found in Moshav Porat, a low socioeconomic settlement. | lld:pubmed |
