Resumo
366 people from two dístricts of Goiânia were examined. One
group comprised workers of a slaughter-house and their families líving
in its surroun dings at the colony of Matingo; the other group included
people living under very poor sanitary conditions in sheds built on
empty grounds in the Universitary District. Ali were submitted to the
Sabin-Feldman dye test and toxoplasmin and data concerning their
provenance, sporadic or continuous contact with animais as well as
the kind of meat used for food were taken.
A statical analyses of these data revealed no relation between
the results of serologic tests and contact with animais either professionally
or in food habits. On the other hand those people living near
the slaughter-house presented a higher índex of positivity — 60,9%
whereas those living in the Universitary presented an index of positivity
of only 47% . This significative difference suggests that living in
an área continously contaminated by animais may be an importam
factor of infection.
The general results of serologic investigation revealed 202 positive
cases in one or other reaction or in both (55,19%); 170 cases
gave discordant results, 32 cases gave positive results in both reactions
and 164 cases gave negátive results ín bolh reactions.
