Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic parasite of world-wide distribution. It is more or less endemic in all countries of the Middle East. In Jeddah Municipal abattoir, anti-Toxoplasma IgG was found to be 39% in sheep and 28% in goats as indicated by IHAT. On the other hand, anti-Toxoplasma IgG and IgM in butchers were 80% and 20% respectively, as indicated by the micro-ELISA. The risk of Toxoplasma transmission particularly, from meat inadequately cooked was discussed.
