Introduction: Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite that infects a wide range of warm-blooded vertebrates, including humans. Epidemiological studies have shown that there is a high prevalence of infection with this parasite in different parts of the world. This cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with Toxoplasma infection among pregnant women in Shiraz city, Fars Province. Materials and Methods: A total of 203 blood samples were collected from pregnant women referred to Zainbiah Hospital in Shiraz city. A structured questionnaire, containing demographic data, was completed for each participant. Sera were evaluated for anti-Toxoplasma antibodies, using Human Anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG ELISA kit. Results: Among 203 pregnant women, the mean age was 31.99±6.954 years. Anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibodies were detected in 22 (10.8%) of the 203 pregnant women. The association between Toxoplasma infection and age, contact with cats, place of residence, level of education, number of births, history of abortion, and history of premature birth were not statistically significant (P-value≥0.05). Conclusion: The findings of the study revealed the prevalence rate of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women in Shiraz was lower than most studies. Considering that Toxoplasma contamination in pregnant women can cause irreparable complications for the mother and the fetus, prevention and control programs are necessary to prevent the transmission of Toxoplasma infection to the pregnant women.
