To evaluate the overall prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection among birds and poultries in Iran.
Data were systematically collected from 1983 to 2016 in Iran on the following electronic databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, Magiran, Irandoc, IranMedex, and Scientific Information Database. Additionally, the abstracts of national scientific congresses and dissertations were included.
A total of 20 articles in the field of birds and poultries toxoplasmosis, totally examining 4563 cases with 754 positive results reporting the overall prevalence of infection from all parts of Iran could fulfill our eligibility criteria. The overall estimated prevalence included in chicken 20% (95% CI: 3%-38%) in chicken, pigeons 8% (95% CI: -17%-33%) and in sparrows 15% (95% CI: -25%-54%).
Although there is a lack in data about poultries and birds toxoplasmosis in Iran, our meta-analysis revealed that infection rate is high among birds and poultries in Iran. More studies are needed to manage controlling programs and prevention strategies among poultries in Iran.
评估伊朗鸟类和家禽中弓形虫感染的总体流行率。
系统收集了1983年至2016年伊朗以下电子数据库中的数据：PubMed、谷歌学术、科学Direct、Scopus、科学网、Magiran、Irandoc、IranMedex和科学信息数据库。此外，还纳入了全国科学大会和论文的摘要。
在鸟类和家禽弓形虫病领域共有20篇文章，总共检查了4563例，其中754例呈阳性结果，报告了来自伊朗各地的总体感染率，这些文章符合我们的纳入标准。总体估计感染率包括鸡20%（95%置信区间：3%-38%）、鸽子8%（95%置信区间：-17%-33%）和麻雀15%（95%置信区间：-25%-54%）。
尽管伊朗缺乏关于家禽和鸟类弓形虫病的数据，但我们的荟萃分析显示伊朗鸟类和家禽的感染率很高。需要更多的研究来管理伊朗家禽的控制项目和预防策略。
