Abstract
dogs of different age groups. Lymph node aspirates were analysed with polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Two numbers of dogs were found to be positive by PCR. The PCR positive dogs showed modified direct agglutination test (MDAT) titre of 1:512 and 1:4,096. The remaining sera samples showed the titre value of less than 1:64 byMDAT andwere also negative by PCR. This study indicates that lymph node aspirates could be an alternative ideal specimen for the detection of T. gondii.
