dc.description.abstract	Antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii were detected in 92% of 53 sera from lions from Botswana, in 100% of 21 sera from Zimbabwe, in 100% of 12 sera from Kruger National Park and 100% of 30 sera from Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Park, South Africa. The single leopard serum from Botswana was positive, while 86% of 7 leopard sera from Kruger National Park were positive. Clinical implications of T. gondii infection in free-ranging non-domestic felids are unknown.	en_US
