A total of 3,370 plasma samples, collected from residents of three mountainous regions, located in Azerbaijan and Khuzestan provinces, north-west and south-west Iran, were tested for Toxoplasma antibodies by the indirect fluorescent antibody technique. The over-all sero-positive rate was 12.8%, with a general increase in positivity with increasing age. The distribution of antibodies to Toxoplasma was found to be different in different ethnic groups in the regions studied. The Toxoplasma sero-positive rate in these mountainous areas was considerably lower than that in the Caspian Sea littoral, in northern Iran, obtained in our previous study.
采用间接荧光抗体技术，对从伊朗西北部阿塞拜疆省和西南部胡齐斯坦省三个山区居民采集的共计3370份血浆样本进行了弓形虫抗体检测。总体血清阳性率为12.8%，且阳性率随年龄增长总体呈上升趋势。在所研究地区的不同民族中，弓形虫抗体分布存在差异。这些山区的弓形虫血清阳性率明显低于我们之前在伊朗北部里海沿岸地区所获得的阳性率。
