    abstract = {<I>Toxoplasma gondii</I> is one of the most common parasites 
  that cause infection to human. The aim of this study was to conduct a sero-prevalence 
  survey of toxoplasmosis in several target groups. A total of 1146 serum samples 
  were collected and detected against <I>Toxoplasma gondii</I> antibodies using 
  LAT. Five hundred (out of 1146 cases) were positive cases giving prevalence 
  rate of (43.6%). High a prevalence was found among HIV patients (75%), aborters 
  (58.3%) and suspected cases (55.5%). More positive cases were detected by (LAT) 
  in age groups (26-30) years than other groups (p = 0.0001). Prevalence rate 
  by sex was found to be higher in females than males (p&lt;0.05). Residence was 
  found to be significant in rural areas (p = 0.001). The relationship between 
  positive (LAT) and women who aborted was significant (p&lt;0.05). Contact with 
  cats, eating raw meat and eating soil were significant to infection using (LAT) 
  (p = 0.0001, p = 0.0001 and p = 0.006), respectively. High prevalence of <I>Toxoplasma 
  gondii</I> was recorded in Khartoum State.}
