    abstract = {The objective of the present study was to estimate the seroprevalence <I>Toxoplasma gondii</I> infection in people working on pig farms in Longyan city, the People's Republic of China. A total of 212 human serum samples were collected from different farms and assayed for <I>T. gondii</I> antibodies (IgG) by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Serologic Assay (ELISA). The results showed that the over all seroprevalence of <I>T. gondii</I> IgG in people working on pig farms with <I>T. gondii</I> IgG was 12.26% (26/212) with the farm managers having the highest prevalence (23.53%, 4/17) which was followed by the pig breeders (11.54%, 21/182) and the farmers (7.69%, 1/13). The present study demonstrated that the prevalence of <I>T. gondii </I>infection in people working on pig farms is high. Therefore, people working in pig farms need to be informed of the infection risk with <I>T. gondii. </I>Integrated control strategies and measures should be implemented to prevent and control <I>T. gondii</I> infection in both humans and animals in these pig farms.}
