To measure the prevalence of toxoplasmosis, we tested 204 pregnant women for IgG and IgM antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii using an enzyme-linked immunoassay. The study was conducted in Hebron district during the year 2005. The seroprevalence of IgG antibodies to T. gondii was 27.9% from rural areas (36.8%) had IgG antibodies to T. gondii than urban women (21.4%). Possible routes of infection were contaminated soil, drinking rainwater and eating raw vegetables rather than eating uncooked meat or contact with cats. The prevalence of previous abortion was 37.3%, with a slight (but not statistically significant) association with toxoplasmosis.
为了测量弓形体病的流行率，我们使用酶联免疫吸附试验检测了 204 名孕妇的 IgG 和 IgM 抗体。该研究于 2005 年在希布伦地区进行。农村地区 IgG 抗体阳性率为 27.9%（36.8%），农村妇女 IgG 抗体阳性率高于城市妇女（21.4%）。可能的感染途径是受污染的土壤、饮用雨水和食用生蔬菜，而不是食用生肉或接触猫。先前流产的发生率为 37.3%，与弓形体病有轻微（但无统计学意义）关联。
