--- The aim of the present work was to estimate the frequency of Toxoplasmosis in cats in the city of Metropolitan Lima. Aside from determining the rate of concordance between the Indirect immunofluorescence (IFI) and Indirect haemaglutination (HAI) Assays, two of the very common diagnostic tests for Toxoplasmosis in our area, a number of 178 cat serum samples, collected in veterinary clinics of this city, were analyzed. The results determined a frequency of reactors to Toxoplasma gondii in 17.90% with a 95% confidence interval (CI) between 12.00% and 23.50% for IFI test and in 11.20% with a 95% confidence interval (CI) between 6.60% and 15.80% for HAI test. The evaluation of reactors, according to age and sex, did not provide statistically significant difference (p> 0, 05). On the other hand, when the rate of concordance among both assays was tested, there was a value of Kappa (K) similar to 0.73 indicating that the concordance is substantial between the two test; while in Mc Nemar’s test, there was statistically significant difference (p less 0.05), indicating that both tests cannot be replaced reciprocally.
