  • Title: Seroprevalence of Toxocara canis in sheep in Wales.
    Author: Lloyd S.
    Journal: Vet Parasitol; 2006 Apr 30; 137(3-4):269-72. PubMed ID: 16500027.
    Abstract:
    Antibody levels to Toxocara canis L2 excretory/secretory antigens were examined by ELISA in 400 serum samples from sheep in Powys and Gwent, Wales. A positive OD value was set at the mean +/-3S.D. of 45 control samples. Seroprevalence increased with age. Seven percent and 13% of 6-month-old sheep showed positive OD values as did 16% of 10-month-old, 27% and 31% of 15-month-old and 47% of cull ewes. Analysis of variance showed a significant increase in ELISA OD values among the seropositive sheep with increasing age of sheep.
