“…On the other hand, Lashari and Tasawar, in Iran reported that the prevalence was higher in male (30.15%) than in female sheep (18.46%) [43]. Also the present results showed that the prevalence of T. gondii was higher in female (38&36%) than male (19& 19%) in younger goats (≤1.5 years) [37]. Such results may be attributed to prolonged exposure of olderly goats to infective T. gondiioocysts throughout their life [33].…”

“…However, Bahrieni et al reported that no significant difference was observed in the presence of T. gondii antibodies in females as compared with males. his discrepancy in the results could be explained as that females have more immunity than males, which may be due to the presence of estrogen in females which normally increases the immunity, while androgen in males decreases the immunity[37,[44][45][46]. But there are various other factors which may break down the immunity in females e.g., changes in sex associated hormones, environmental factors, age, nutrition and pregnancy[47].The obtained results showed that, the prevalence of T. gondii was higher in adult sheep(43 & 44%) than the lambs (22 & 22%) as determined by MAT and ELISA respectively.…”

“…In goats, the T. gondii infection seroprevalence that we observed was close to that recorded (11.2%) in Pakistan [43], Central Ethiopia (11.6%) [28], northern America (12.1%) [52], and Algeria (13.2%) [19], but was higher than that observed in Morocco (8.5%) [41], South Africa (4.3%) [53], and India (3.8%) [54]. Other studies reported higher seroprevalences than ours, such as those reported in Ethiopia (25.9%) [55], Thailand (27.9%) [56], Tunisia (34%) [49], Pakistan (41.8%) [57], Egypt (41.7% and 44.3%) [58,59], Libya (50%) [26], and Southern Ethiopia (55.18%) [60].…”

“…In goats, the percentage of T. gondii infection is in consistence with the reported prevalence of 24.1% using MDAT and 25.9% by ELISA in Nazareth, Ethiopia [ 18 ], and 27.9% in Thailand [ 26 ] and higher than 11.6% [ 16 ] and 15.48% [ 27 ] in Central Ethiopia. However, on the contrary, it was lower than the reported prevalence of 35% in Debre Berhan, Ethiopia [ 16 ], and 44.3% in Egypt [ 28 ].…”
