The detection of<jats:italic>Toxoplasma gondii<\/jats:italic>is impossible by currently practiced meat inspection, but serological tests can be used to detect<jats:italic>Toxoplasma gondii<\/jats:italic>antibodies in pig herds and can consequently be helpful to identify potentially contaminated pork. Therefore, appropriate serological tests are required. In this study, serum samples of 1368 naturally exposed slaughter pigs from 73 Austrian farms were collected. Serum samples of at least 16 slaughter pigs per farm were tested. The prevalence of<jats:italic>Toxoplasma gondii<\/jats:italic>antibodies in serum was measured by a commercial available modified agglutination test (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MAT<\/jats:styled-content>) and compared to three different commercial available enzyme\u2010linked immunosorbent assays (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ELISA<\/jats:styled-content>). The<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MAT<\/jats:styled-content>detected 6.5%,<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ELISA<\/jats:styled-content>I 6.7%,<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ELISA II<\/jats:styled-content>4.8% and<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ELISA III<\/jats:styled-content>4.3% of the pigs as<jats:italic>Toxoplasma gondii<\/jats:italic>antibody positive. The agreement, according to the kappa coefficient (\u03ba), was substantial between the<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MAT<\/jats:styled-content>and<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ELISA<\/jats:styled-content>I (\u03ba\u00a0=\u00a00.62),<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">II<\/jats:styled-content>(\u03ba\u00a0=\u00a00.64) and<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">III<\/jats:styled-content>(\u03ba\u00a0=\u00a00.67). A better agreement was determined between<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ELISA<\/jats:styled-content>I and<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">II<\/jats:styled-content>(\u03ba\u00a0=\u00a00.715),<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ELISA<\/jats:styled-content>I and<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">III<\/jats:styled-content>(\u03ba\u00a0=\u00a00.747) and<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ELISA II<\/jats:styled-content>and<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">III<\/jats:styled-content>(\u03ba\u00a0=\u00a00.865). At least one pig per farm was detected<jats:italic>Toxoplasma gondii<\/jats:italic>antibody positive in 17 (23.3%) farms by the<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MAT<\/jats:styled-content>, 26 (35.6%) farms by<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ELISA<\/jats:styled-content>I, 16 (21.9%) farms by<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ELISA II<\/jats:styled-content>and 11 (15.1%) farms by<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ELISA III<\/jats:styled-content>. Pig farms with a high number of<jats:italic>Toxoplasma gondii<\/jats:italic>antibody\u2010positive pigs or high antibody titres were identified by all of the four used serological tests. Concerning the occurrence of<jats:italic>Toxoplasma gondii<\/jats:italic>antibodies in Austrian pig farms, a monitoring and surveillance programme would be reasonable to find high\u2010risk farms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/zph.12122","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,15]],"date-time":"2014-04-15T11:07:00Z","timestamp":1397560020000},"page":"119-124","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Comparison of Different Commercial Serological Tests for the Detection of<i>Toxoplasma gondii<\/i>Antibodies in Serum of Naturally Exposed Pigs"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"R.","family":"Steinparzer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Farm Animals and Veterinary Public Health Institute for Veterinary Public Health University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Reisp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Veterinary Disease Control Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES) M\u00f6dling Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.","family":"Gr\u00fcnberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Farm Animals and Veterinary Public Health Institute for Veterinary Public Health University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"K\u00f6fer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Farm Animals and Veterinary Public Health Institute for Veterinary Public Health University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"Schmoll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Farm Animals and Veterinary Public Health Institute for Veterinary Public Health University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna Vienna Austria"},{"name":"Institute for Veterinary Disease Control Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES) M\u00f6dling Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Sattler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Large Animal Internal Medicine Faculty of Veterinary Medicine University of Leipzig Leipzig Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0031182011001041"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpara.2013.02.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1863-2378.2011.01395.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0304-4017(96)00961-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1030","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.1995.56.08.1030","article-title":"Sensitivity and specificity of various serologic tests for detection of Toxoplasma gondii infection in naturally infected sows","volume":"56","author":"Dubey J.P.","year":"1995","journal-title":"Am.
