Objective: TOXOPLASMOSIS is a zoonosis and has a worldwide distribution. It is caused by Toxoplasma gondii. The incidence of this infection depends to climates, feeding habits and contact with cats. The aim of this study was to evaluate the PREVALENCE of sero-positivity against Toxoplasma gondii among childbearing age women in AHWAZ city.Subjects and Methods: In summer 1382, 400 blood samples accumulated randomly from women who referred to health center of 17 Shahrivar for routine examinations before marriage and these samples were evaluated by method of ELISA-IgG for presence of antitoxoplasma IgG and a questionnaire was completed answered for assessment of risk factors for acquisition of the infection.Results: Antitoxoplasma IgG was positive in 103 samples (25.8%) and this was not statistically correlated with educational status, place of living (rural or urban), eating of raw or under cooked meat, close contact with cats, and contact with soils of garden or contacts with raw meats.Conclusion: our study showed that According to this study 74.2% of these women in AHWAZ city were seronegative.
