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 28.2% and 27.8% of home-slaughtered kids (n=39) and lambs (n=18), respectively, in the Czech Republic. T. gondii DNA was detected in tissues (diaphragm, lung) of 10.3% of kids and 16.7% 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.
