*Prof. Dr. Abdulsadah A. Rahi and Sara H. Al-Rodaynee
ABSTRACT
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular coccidian protozoan parasite. A total of 96 aborted women attended to Eben AL Baldly Teaching Hospital and public health centers at Baghdad province, Iraq during the period from October 2016 to March 2017 were examined. Their ages were ranged from (15-47) years old. Blood and placenta samples were collected, blood separate into two part serum and tested by Enzyme Linked Immune Sorbent Assay (ELISA). The results showed that (81) samples were positive for T.gondii and 15 sample were negative. The highest rate of infection (85.71%) was recorded in age group (15-25) years and the higher rate of abortion in patients with single abortion sample (46.9%) than multiple abortion. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of the parasite that causes toxoplasmosis and its relationship with some biological variables.
