Description	Toxoplasmosis is worldwide zoonosis and the consumption of undercooked meat is a major risk factor of human infection. Antibodies to T. gondii were found in 37.5% and 26.7% of home-slaughtered kids (n=24) and lambs (n=15), respectively, in the Czech Republic. T. gondii DNA was detected in tissues (diaphragm, lung) of 12.5% of kids and 20.0% of lambs. Although the consumption of goat and lamb meat is low in the Czech Republic, it can serve as a source of infection for humans.
