A 1-year-old female pet rabbit (Lion head, BW: 1.1 kg) was present to the animal hospital for vaccination of viral hemorrhagic disease. This rabbit was adopted in 4-month-old, and contacted with wild cats in outdoors before adoption. We examined feces for Toxoplasma gondii by PCR analysis. We detected the presence of the 497 base pair fragment as a positive result. This is the first detection of T. gondii DNA in a pet rabbit from Korea by PCR analysis.
