Abstract

Serum samples from 283 llamas (Lama glama) from Oregon, Washington State and Idaho were tested for antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii using the modified agglutination test. Antibodies were found in 95 (33.5%) llamas. Percent seropositivity in serum dilutions of 1:25, 1:50, 1:500, and 1:5000 was 9.5%, 18.3%, 4.9%, and 0.7%, respectively.
