The objective of the present study was to estimate seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in donkey from Grenada, West Indies. Using a modified agglutination test (MAT), sera of 37 donkeys were examined for evidence of exposure to T. gondii. Two (5.4%; 95 percent confidence interval: -1.88% to 12.68%) of the 37 donkeys were seropositive with titers of 50 in one donkey and 100 in the other. The lower Seroprevalence coupled with non consumption of meat and milk from donkey in Grenada suggests that donkeys are not important in the epidemiology of T.gondii in this country.
