摘要：

This article reports the first national serological prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in India. In total, 23,094 serum samples were tested for T gondii IgG and IgM antibodies with the use of a solid-phase immunocapture ELISA. Antibodies (I-G) were found in 24.3%; IgM antibodies were detected in 2% of the samples. The lowest seroprevalences were in the northern parts of India, with the highest in the south. These data probably reflect the effects of significantly drier conditions and, therefore, a negative impact on the survivability of T. gondii oocysts.
