    Abstract: Anti-<I>Toxoplasma</I> antibodies were detected in  3  aborted goats` sera which were reared in a caprine farm. ELISA test applied on 18 serum samples obtained from the farm workers, revealed a presence of IgG and IgM in 11 serum samples (61%) with titers of = 128. Retesting for positive sera (IgG and/or IgM) showed rising of titers within 6 weeks . This results reflect an active recent infection among the farm workers due to unadequate protection measures. Out of 118 caprine sera examined by latex agglutination tests 88 (74.5%) were positive for <I>Toxoplasma</I> antibodies; 23 (73.6%) pregnant females and 65 (55.9%) males. IgM was detected in all latex positive caprine sera with titers of 1:512-1:1024. <I>Toxoplasma gondii</I> cysts were demonstrated histologically in brains of caprine fetuses and mice that inoculated with caprine fetuses tissues.
