Abstract
A serological survey about the prevalence of the rubella hemagglutination inhibiting antibodies among the pregnant women in Abidjan during the year 1975 has shown an average rate of seroconversion of 84 p. 100. This rate depends on age and increases from 70 to 80 p. 100 between 15 and 35 years old. A regression line is fitted, and the goodness of fit is tested. These rates are in accordance with what is presently observed in America, in Europe and in Australia.
