    Author: García-Márquez LJ, Gutiérrez-Díaz MA, Correa D, Luna-Pastén H, Palma JM.
    Journal: J Parasitol; 2007 Dec; 93(6):1527-8. PubMed ID: 18314706.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in 80 domestic cats was studied in the city of Colima, Mexico, using an indirect IgG-ELISA. Antibodies were found in 28.8% of the cats, with significantly higher (P = 0.029) prevalence in southern and central zones (33.8%) than the northern zone (6.6%). Prevalence among cats fed with homemade food was higher than those eating commercial pellets (40.6% [vs.] 20.8%; P = 0.055). Overall, the prevalence of T. gondii antibodies in the cats of Colima was lower than in many other countries.
