Toxoplasma infections are common on the Upper Leeward Islands (Saba, St. Maarten and St. Eustatius, Neth. Antilles) as proved by clinical evidence and serological determinations in patients and in healthy people. In schoolchildren an overall positive percentage of 45.5% was found. On St. Eustatius the highest frequency of recent infections was in the youngest age groups, in contrast with findings in the Netherlands and in Germany.
