在巴西累西腓对献血者中刚地弓形虫感染进行了血清学调查，以确定血清流行率。采用弓形虫igg抗体酶免疫分析法（Denka Seiken Co.， LTD, Tokyo, Japan）对160名个体（119名男性和41名女性）的血清进行了评估。男性血清阳性率（79.0%）高于女性（63.4%）（pltoreq0.05）。这一比例随着年龄的增长而增加，20岁以下和40-50岁的人分别从18.2%到92.6%不等。育龄妇女（18-40岁）的患病率为51.6%。
A serological survey of Toxoplasma gondii infection in blood donors was carried out in order to identify seroprevalence in Recife, Brazil. Sera from 160 individuals (119 male and 41 female) were evaluated by using a Toxoplasma IgG-antibody enzyme immunoassay (Denka Seiken Co., LTD., Tokyo, Japan). The seropositive percentual for males (79.0%) showed to be higher (pltoreq0.05) than for females (63.4%). This percentage increases with age, ranging from 18.2% to 92.6% for individuals aging under 20 and 40-50 years old, respectively. For women of childbearing age (18-40 years) it was found a prevalence of 51.6%.
