“…Previously using an agglutination test, Ball 16 confirmed exposure to leptospires in cattle and hippopotamus within Uganda. Recently, Millá n and others 17 confirmed exposure to Leptospira interrogans using microscopic agglutination in dogs from the same region of Uganda as investigated herein, namely the Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi National Park. The high seroprevalence in cattle is consistent with other published work.…”

“…Also by using the MAT and a cutoff titre of 25, a seroprevalence value of 90.8% was described in 109 dogs from southwestern Uganda. 8 Fifty out of 51 (98.0%) stray dogs from northern Egypt had MAT titres of 25 or higher and viable T. gondii was isolated from 22 out of 43 (51.2%) seropositive dogs bioassayed in mice. 4 A seroprevalence of 25.0% was recorded in 168 dogs from northeastern Nigeria examined by the latex agglutination test at a cutoff titre of 64.…”

“…4 Despite the worldwide importance of this zoonotic parasite, limited epidemiological surveys and clinical cases of toxoplasmosis in humans and animals have been reported in the sub-Saharan countries of Africa. 1,8 In Angola, we found only two outdated reports on T. gondii infection in humans and no data are provided for animals including dogs. 9,10 Angola is located in Middle Africa (UN subregion).…”
