“…Our study results, in agreement to study of Alvarado-Esquivel et al in Mexico, did not show an association between gender and infection (18). However, it was in contrast with the findings of Elhence et al in India (12). Our study limitation was the 4 Arch Clin Infect Dis.…”

“…In addition, similar T. gonii seroprevalence studies on blood donors have been conducted in other countries such as Taiwan, India, and Mexico. The reported rates vary from 7.4% to 51.8% for IgG and 0.28% to 5% for IgM anti-T. gondii antibodies (12,(16)(17)(18). These differences may be due to sample size, mean age of the participants, geography, and sensitivity of detection methods.…”

“…The rate of Toxoplasma infection in healthy blood donors varies in different areas of the world and this mainly depends on the rate of infection in the community [10][11][12][13][14][15]. In some areas, such as northeast Brazil, north India and Egypt, more than 50% of blood donors have been seropositive for Toxoplasma infection [11,14,16].…”

“…Seroprevalance, a measure of numbers chronically infected, increases with age and decreased socioeconomic status. In general, rates have been declining in developing countries to around 20%, although seroprevalance may exceed 70% elsewhere (1,3,4). In Turkey, recent estimates indicate seroprevalance at 30 -60% (5)(6)(7)(8)(9).…”
