Abstract EN
The present study was carried out Umdawanban village, where serum samples taken from 100 pregnant and 100 non-pregnant women were examined for anti-Toxoplasma antibodies by latex agglutination and ELISA tests.
They were 14-45 years old.
The overall rate of anti-Toxoplasma antibodies was 6 % by ELISA (IgM) and 22.
5 % by the latex agglutination test.
The results showed that the highest prevalence rate was reported among the 15-20 age group (28.
6 %) when using the latex agglutination test and 20 % among the 41-45 age group when using ELISA test.
Drinking milk was found to be of no significance in the transmission cycle.
However, different rates were reported among those who consumed different types of meat.
A statistically significant difference was reported between different trimesters in pregnant women.
Contacts with cats have been shown to be of great importance in the transmission cycle.
There was no correlation between the history of abortions and occurrence of toxoplasmosis
