Seroprevalence and genetic characterization of Toxoplasma gondii in domestic pigs intended for human consumption in Cuba.

"the sequences obtained in the present study have been deposited in genbank ( sag3 : om836491-om836494; sag1 : om648096- om648099) 2 7 individual seroprevalence was estimated from the ratio of elisa-positive sera to the total number of analysed samples with 95% exact binomial confidence intervals (95% ci)."
