Studies have indicated the presence of <jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> infection in animals in some provinces of China, but little is known about <jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> infection in yaks (<jats:italic>Bos grunniens<\/jats:italic>) on the Qinghai\u2013Tibetan Plateau. In the current study, to determine the seroprevalence and associated risk factors of <jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic>, a total of 2784 serum samples were collected from 18 different sampling sites in eight counties of the Qinghai and Tibet regions of China from 2018 to 2019. Serum antibodies against <jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> were detected in 261 yaks (9.38%) via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We found that seroprevalence differed significantly among different counties (ranging from 5.41% in Gangcha to 19.79% in Datong), by year in the Tibet Autonomous Region (from 2.34% in 2018 to 13.24% in 2019), and by age (from 5.59% in 0 &lt; year \u2264 1 to 11.76% in year &gt; 7) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). Climate, geographical conditions, and age are the main factors influencing <jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> infection in yaks in these regions. Therefore, our study provides a data reference for public health and prevention of yak toxoplasmosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1051\/parasite\/2021043","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,19]],"date-time":"2021-05-19T08:11:51Z","timestamp":1621411911000},"page":"43","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Seroprevalence
