Toxoplasma gondii is widely distributed in humans and other animals including domestic poultry throughout the world. but little is known of the prevalence of T gondii in chickens and ducks in People's Republic of China. In the present Study, antibodies to T gondii were investigated in 349 domestic ducks (Anus spp.), 361 free-range, and 244 caged chickens (Gallus domesticus) raised in commercial flocks in Southern China's Guangdong Province using the modified agglutination test (MAT) Antibodies to T gondii (MAT titer of 1 5 or higher) were found in 56 (16%) of 349 ducks, 41 (11.4%) of 361 free-range, and 10 (4.1%) of 244 caged chickens. The results indicate soil contamination clue to T gondii oocysts because free-range chickens feed from the ground, and suggest Oat the meat from the domestic poultry may be an important source for human infection by T gondii in People's Republic of China (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
