Abstract

The qualitatives and quantitatives comparison of the Indirect Fluorescent antibody technique for canine toxoplasmosis was made comparing the obtained results with the M.B.D. test results. Eighty serum specimens were examined and the agreement between qualitative results was over 94%, and there was good agreement among antibody titers in quantitative values. The IFI test detected higher titers than M.B.D. test. The sensitivity and specifity of the both techniques appears to be equal.
