Each case of conjenital disease is a personal and economic tragedy, the Primary infection is often asymptomatic and is rarely detected during pregnancy .The aim of this work was to investigate the occurrence of general antibodies against toxoplasmosis in serum of women with various conditions and Pregnancy. The infection is determined by serological analysis.Method: 1152 serum samples were collected from women, and sent to the parasitology laboratory of medical faculty and examined in an age group from 11 to 68 years. For T.gondii antibody identification a mouse virulent. Toxoplasma strain (RH Strain) was used, and tested for antibodies to T.gondii by an indirect antibody test (IFAT) method.Results: Among 1152 women serum samples tested in 1999 for the presence of Antibody to T.gondii a group of 206 (17.9%) serum samples were found to be antibody positive from the antibody titer 1:20 to 1:1600 . The mean of the serum P9sitive women was 25 years (minimum 15 years, Maximum 48 years).Conclusion: The prevalence of T.gondii antibodies in sera from the examinied women > was rather in a high rate. Geografical conditions, Stray cats and human food diet and habits are the important factors for high prevalence rate of T.gondii antibodies.Sanitary management,' increasing general medical and veterinay education of people and available a simple diagnostic test are the important control measures for toxoplasmosis.Acknowledgement: This study was financially supported by the Zanjan University Medical Sciences and health services.
