Surveys ofToxoplasma gondiiinfection in animals have been reported in Yunnan province, southwestern China. However, limited information is available regarding the epidemiology ofT. gondiiinfection among persons participated in health screening in Yunnan. From January 2014 to December 2016, a large-scale and cross-sectional serological survey was conducted to reveal the seroprevalence ofT. gondiiinfection in persons participated in health screening in three major hospitals. A total of 64,533 serum samples were collected and anti-T. gondiiantibodies were examined by commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. The total seroprevalence ofT. gondiiinfection was 6.67% (4306/64,533). Of these, 3721 persons (5.77%, 3721/64,533) were positive for Immunoglobulin G (IgG) only, 473 persons (0.73%, 473/64,533) were positive for Immunoglobulin M (IgM) only, and 112 persons (0.17%, 112/64,533) were positive for both IgG and IgM. Female seroprevalence (6.83%, 3167/46,389) was higher than male (6.28%, 1139/18,144). The highest seroprevalence ofT. gondiiinfection was found in the age range of 41–50 years (10.60%, 228/2150) (p< 0.001). The seroprevalence in 2014, 2015, and 2016 were 6.39% (1083/16,946), 6.24% (1261/20,201), and 7.16% (1962/27,386), respectively. The results showed thatT. gondiiinfection is common in persons participated in health screening in Yunnan province, which has significant public health concern. Thus, improved integrated measures should be executed to prevent and controlT. gondiiinfection humans and animals in Yunnan province.
