Abstract

It has been found that local residents and refugees in our province were above the global average in terms of <i>Toxoplasma</i> seropositivity rate. Seropositivity rates in the refugees appeared to be higher than those in countries with a routine screening program. Therefore, routine <i>Toxoplasma</i> screening should be performed in pregnant women, especially in our region.
