Twenty-nine of 200 (14.5%) ewes on a farm in Cobleskill, NY aborted or had dead lambs during the lambing seasons of 1985 and 1986. Thirteen of 15 ewes that aborted had high Toxoplasma gondii antibody titers (1,024), via the modified agglutination test, and T gondii was isolated from the tissues of 1 fetus. In the 1987 lambing season, 5 ewes aborted, but not because of T gondii infection. Toxoplasma gondii antibodies were detected in 73.8% of sera obtained from 592 ewes in January 1987, indicating enzootic toxoplasmosis on this farm. Seropositivity increased with age; 40.2% of 1-year-old ewes had detectable antibody vs 89.2% of 2-year-old ewes.
