As for the relationshipbetween age and Toxoplasma seropositivity, the results showed that the highest seropositivityrate in the age groups more than a year and two years (65.30% and 65.57%) respectively byusing LAT test , and high seropositivity rate (32.65) in the age group more than a year withELISA test.The statistical analysis showed no significant differences(p ≥ 0.05) between the LAT andELISA tests with regard to Toxoplasma seropositivity
