Abstract

Toxoplasmosis is one of the most common zoonotic diseases, which can infect animals and humans. Toxoplasmosis is caused by the apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, with cats as the definitive host and warm blooded animals, including goats, as intermediate hosts. This study aims to detect Toxoplasma gondii in goats in Kupang City and to determine differences in serological detection based on sex and age. The samples in this study were goat blood collected at goat slaughterhouses in Kupang City using simple random sampling method, with a total of 5 samples from young male goats (< 2 years), 5 samples from old male goats (≥ 2 years), 5 samples from young female goats (< 2 years), and 5 samples from old female goats (≥ 2 years). The blood samples were separated by centrifugation to obtain goat serum, which was then tested using the Toxoplasma gondii Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The results showed that 50% of the samples were serologically positive for Toxoplasma gondii, with the highest serological positivity rate in female goats at 70% (7/10) and in older goats at 60% (6/10).
