| Summary: | Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease caused by parasite Toxoplasma
gondii. The ability of T. gondii to infect birds, domestic animals and human
through various routes and the wide distribution of the parasite causes a high
prevalence of infection in human. This parasite could infect ducks and suggests
that comsumption of ducks� meat may pose a potential threat to human health.
The purpose of this research is to determine prevalence of toxoplasmosis in ducks
based on serological test and leukocyte profile from seropositive ducks. This
research used 30 blood samples from ducks in Bambanglipuro Bantul Yogyakarta.
Blood was collected from brachialis vein then split into 2 tube, one effendorf tube
with ethylene diamine-tetra acetic acid (EDTA) for leukocyte examination and
non-EDTA tube for serological test using Pastorex-Toxo®. Antibodies to T. gondii
were found in 16 ducks (53,3%). There is no significant difference for total
leukocyte, lymphocytes, heterophils, monocytes and eosinofils between
seropositive and seronegative toksoplamosis ducks.
