[Toxoplasmosis in Eastern Gabon. Results of a serologic survey]

1,448 sera taken from individuals of various places of South-Eastern Gabon have been studied by means of indirect immunofluorescence and Fulton direct agglutination associated with 2-mercapto-ethanol test, 52.6% contained antitoxiplasmic antibodies. This study showed that toxoplasmic infection occurs early in both sexes, that it is more frequent in men (57.9%) than in women (45.4%), that the Ogooué-Lolo province is more contaminated (62.6%) than the High Ogooué province (49.6%). It seems that prevalence differences are less dependent upon the telluric elimate than upon other factors, which remain to find.
