Abstract
- Objective: To understand the status of Toxoplasma gondii infection in the population of Pu'er City, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the strategy of toxoplasmosis control.<br />Methods: The population from Jingdong, Jinggu, and Menglian counties in Pu' er City was surveyed; IgG of T. gondii in serum was detected by ELISA.<br />Results: Totally 906 resident serum samples were detected and the IgG positive rate was 24.2%. The positive rates were higher in the aged groups of 30-39 years and 60-69 years, and the difference among different aged groups was significant (Χ2 = 17.77, P < 0.01). There were no significant differences between different sexualities, and among different educational levels and living habits (P > 0.05). The positive rates were 26.6% (194/730), 15.5% (22/142), and 8.8% (3/34) in farmers, students and other occupations, respectively, and there was a significant difference among them (Χ2 = 12.51, P < 0.01). The positive rates were 23.3% (198/849)and 36.8% (21/57) in the farmers who had the habit of rearing pigs in pens and the farmers who had the habit of free ranging pigs, respectively, and there was a significant difference between them (Χ2 = 5.33, P < 0.05).<br />Conclusion: The IgG positive rate of T. gondii is very high in Pu'er City, and therefore, the health education for toxoplasmosis control should be strengthened.
