Seroprevalence of toxocariasis in schoolchildren in Trinidad

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2002
The seroprevalence of toxocariasis was investigated in 1997/98 in 1009 schoolchildren (aged 5-12 years) throughout Trinidad. Infection, as measured by titre, was found to be high compared to values obtained from children in other countries. Using an excretory-secretory antigen and performing an ELISA test, it was found that 62.3% of children had an IgG
