The level of Toxoplasma gondii infection among the general population of the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe is unclear. The T. gondii infection status of inhabitants who visited National Central Hospital on Sao Tome Island was assessed by a latex agglutination test. The overall seroprevalence was 74.5% (120/161). No significant gender difference in seroprevalence was found between males and females. The older age group (> or =45 years) had significantly higher seroprevalence (80.0%, 28/35) than the younger age group (<15 years) (20.0%, 3/15) (chi(2)=16.04, P<0.001).
圣多美和普林西比民主共和国普通人群中的弓形虫感染水平尚不清楚。通过乳胶凝集试验评估了圣多美岛国立中央医院就诊居民的弓形虫感染状况。总体血清阳性率为74.5%（120/161）。男性和女性之间在血清阳性率上未发现显著性别差异。年龄较大组（≥45岁）的血清阳性率（80.0%，28/35）显著高于年龄较小组（<15岁）（20.0%，3/15）（χ²=16.04，P<0.001）。
