Abstract
A micro direct agglutination test has been devised for the detection of Toxoplasma antibodies. For this purpose a pure suspension of Toxoplasma gondii, the causative organism, was used as antigen. The test is easily and rapidly performed with the Takatsy micro-agglutination kit and very small amounts of antigenic material are required. The results obtained agree well with those of other serological tests in common use.
