“…This cross‐sectional study was conducted from April to September 2020. The sample size for the study was calculated using the following formula, assuming an expected prevalence of 25% and 15% of T. gondii in buffalo and cattle meat, respectively, based on previous studies (Alipour Amroabadi et al.,
2020), with a desired absolute confidence level of 95% and a percent error of 5% (Motamed & Zamani, 2016). Based on these parameters, it was estimated that a total of at least 47 buffaloes and 97 cattle needed to be sampled:
where P is the prevalence, α is the error rate, and d is the accuracy.…”
