This study was carried out to determine seroprevalence of T. gondii in thoroughbred Arabian mares in Şanlıurfa. For this purpose, blood samples were collected from a total 93 horses between November 2001 and June 2002 and sera were separated from those samples. The sera were analyzed to detect antibodies against T. gondii using Sabin-Feldman dye test.

Results indicated that, 7 (7.5%) of 93 horses were seropositive for T. gondii specific antibodies. Titers of 1/16 and 1/64 were found in 6 (85.7%) and in 1 (14.2%) of the 7 seropositive horses, respectively.
