has been found to infect almost all warm-blooded animals, including humans. In this study, a total of 3,275 human serum samples were collected from hospitals in five provinces of China. About 5.13% (168/3,275) (95% CI, 4.42-5.94) of the serum samples tested positive for IgG antibody by a modified agglutination test (MAT) (cut-off: 1:20). Significant associations were detected between geographic location (OR = 1.763), age (OR = 3.072), infertility in women (OR = 2.4409) and infection in humans ( < 0.05). To minimize infection, citizens need to be informed about the best practices for toxoplasmosis prevention, including eating well-cooked meat, drinking boiled water, washing vegetables and fruits, and being careful during contact with cats.
已发现该寄生虫几乎可以感染所有温血动物，包括人类。本研究共采集中国五个省份医院的 3275 份人血清样本。经改良凝集试验（MAT）检测，约 5.13%（168/3,275）（95%CI：4.42-5.94）的血清样本 IgG 抗体呈阳性。地理位置（OR=1.763）、年龄（OR=3.072）、女性不孕（OR=2.4409）与人类感染之间存在显著相关性（<0.05）。为了最大限度地减少感染，需要向市民宣传预防弓形虫病的最佳方法，包括食用彻底煮熟的肉、饮用开水、清洗蔬菜和水果以及与猫接触时小心谨慎。
