Toxoplasmosis in Young Jamaicans

S. C. Rawlins, PhD and P. Prabhakar, MD

Department of Microbiology, University of the West Indies Mona, Kingston 7, Jamaica, W.I.

Of 511 young (1–19 years of age) Jamaicans sampled for IgG antibodies to Toxoplasma by the ELISA method, there was an overall prevalence of 45 per cent. Seropositivity ranged from 24–26 per cent in the 2-year-olds, up to 54 per cent in the 5–9-year-olds. There was no significant difference in prevalence between the sexes, but there was a statistically significant difference between the rates from rural uplands (58 per cent), urban uplands (46 per cent), rural lowlands (40 per cent), and urban lowlands (32 per cent).
