Seroepidemiological study of Toxoplasma gondii infection in the human population in the Eastern Region (original) (raw)

This study investigates the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in the human population of the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia. A total of 1464 sera were collected using a multistage sampling technique across urban and rural areas. Serological analyses were performed to determine the presence of IgG and IgM antibodies, revealing a notable seroprevalence which varies by age and occupation. The findings highlight the importance of understanding the epidemiology of toxoplasmosis in this region, with implications for public health and awareness.
