| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence rate of toxoplasmosis among 79 healthy students (51male,28 female) their age ranged between 18-22 years from AL-Mustansiriya University. Blood samples were collected and the presence of T.gondii IgG antibodies was determined by using two methods, Latex agglutination test LAT and Enzyme link immunosorbent assay ELIZA, C-reactive protein CRP was measured as an inflammatory marker. The seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis by LAT and ELIZA were 35(44.3%), 29(36.7%) respectively. High significant difference (P<0.01) was found between LAT and ELIZA tests. There was no difference (P>0.05) in CRP positive rat of students (17 male, 10 female).When compare CRP result with LAT, ELIZA results 17 samples were found positive in both CRP and LAT, while 19 samples were found positive in both ELIZA and CRP. | ||
