BACKGROUND: Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic obligate intracellular protozoan parasite that infects all warm-blooded animals as well as human worldwide.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of Toxoplasma in aborted fetuses of sheep using the serological method in North Khorasan province. METHODS: In this study, from 2015 to 2017, 133 samples of the thoracic fluid in aborted fetuses of sheep from different cities of North Khorasan Province were collected and sent to the central laboratory of Bojnourd. For each sample, a questionnaire was prepared for gathering information such as age and city, and then, the antibody level was determined in each sample by ELISA method. RESULTS: In this study, the age of 133 aborted fetuses of sheep was more than 120 days. Also, of the 133 aborted fetuses of sheep, 14 samples (10. 53%) were infected with Toxoplasma parasites. The highest and lowest rate of Toxoplasma infection was observed in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Also, the most infection was found in Shirvan and Faroj cities. Results of chi-square test showed that there was a significant difference between year and Abortion in sheep due to infection with Toxoplasma parasite (P<0. 05). There was not significant difference between the frequency of this parasite infection and aborted fetuses in different areas (P> 0. 05). CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study indicate that Toxoplasma gondii infection is one of the causes of Abortion of sheep in North Khorasan province, and sheep is one of important sources of meat and dairy products in this area, Therefore, observance of public health tips and the complete cooking of meat and boiling milk is emphasized.
