Data were stored using Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) software. Prevalence rates were estimated by the presence of reactive IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test and calculation of the odds ratio (OR). Seroreactivity to T. gondii and exposure variables (age, educational level, and parity) were analyzed using a confidence interval (95%CI) and a significance level of 5% (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003The seropositivity rate for T. gondii was 40%. There was no association between seroprevalence and age. Primiparity was a protective factor against seropositivity and low education was a risk factor.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Knowledge of T. gondii infection and its transmission forms was significantly limited, presenting a risk for acute maternal toxoplasmosis and vertical transmission of this protozoan. Increasing the education level regarding the risk of toxoplasmosis during pregnancy could reduce the rates of infection and vertical transmission of this parasite.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-1764495","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,28]],"date-time":"2023-03-28T22:32:32Z","timestamp":1680042752000},"page":"059-064","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Seroprevalence
