Abstract

Toxoplasmosis is a common infectious disease (zoonosis) with worldwide spread. It is caused by Toxoplasma gondii, an intracellular protozoan with global distribution. The present study was a cross-sectional study of the prevalence of Toxoplasmosis and its associated risk factors with the aim of investigating more information related to T. gondii infection in Kermanshah. In this study, 2470 serum samples were collected from suspects referred to the reference laboratory during a period of one year (2019-2020) and evaluated anti T. gondii, IgG IgM antibodies by using ELISA&DAT method. Multivariate data analysis was performed using Chi-Square Pearson and Fisher statistical tests by SPSS ver. 18 software with significant P levels less than 0. 05. The overall prevalence of anti-T. gondii antibodies in the study population was 25. 4% (P <0. 05). There was a significant difference in prevalence in summer and winter with 32. 1% and 17. 2% (P <0. 05). Also there was a difference in the Serum prevalence of T. gondii antibodies between male and female groups (P <0. 05 and df = 1), But there was no significant difference between individuals in rural and urban population (P = 0. 0054 and P = 4. 735). In other population-related relationships, no significant difference was observed in other variables (occupation, physical condition, education, etc. ) as potential factors associated with infection (P = 0. 004). In the study population, the relationship between age, sex and season was observed in the rate of general infection with T. gondii, which is probably because of more exposure to infectious sources.
