Venous blood was taken from 617 children and evaluated for anti\u2010Toxocara antibodies, using an <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ELISA<\/jats:styled-content> system. Of the 617 studied children, 318 (51.5%) were boys and 299 (48.5%) were girls. Mean age of the participants was 9.2 (\u00b110.7) years. Most cases of the recruited subjects (37.4%) were in the age group of 0\u20105\u00a0years. Anti\u2010Toxocara antibodies were detected in sera of 39 (6.3%) of children. From these, 23 (62.2%) were boys and 14 (37.8%) were girls. The infection rate was almost the same in different age groups. No statistically significant differences were seen between seropositivity to Toxocara infection and gender or age of the participants. Dogs or cats ownership was not associated with Toxocara seropositivity. The adjusted associations of the study variables suggested that the visceral leishmaniasis (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">VL<\/jats:styled-content>) seropositivity is significantly associated with the seroprevalence of Toxocara infection (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001). Findings of the current study revealed that Toxocara infection is a common infection among children in the studied rural community in Iran. Preventive measurements are necessary to minimize the rate of Toxocara infection in children in such communities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/pim.12582","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,17]],"date-time":"2018-08-17T07:46:14Z","timestamp":1534491974000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Seroprevalence and risk factors for <i>Toxocara<\/i> infection among children in a rural community in Fars province, southern Iran"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2045-9057","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bahador","family":"Sarkari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Parasitology and Mycology School of Medicine Shiraz University of Medical Sciences  Shiraz Iran"},{"name":"Basic Sciences in Infectious Diseases Research Center Shiraz University of Medical Sciences  Shiraz Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roya","family":"Alirezaei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Parasitology and Mycology School of Medicine Shiraz University of Medical Sciences  Shiraz Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Akram","family":"Layegh Gigloo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Parasitology and Mycology School of Medicine Shiraz University of Medical Sciences  Shiraz Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zahra","family":"Rezaei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Parasitology and Mycology School of Medicine Shiraz University of Medical Sciences  Shiraz Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fataneh","family":"Mikaeili","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Parasitology and Mycology School of Medicine Shiraz University of Medical Sciences  Shiraz Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Saleh","family":"Bahreini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Parasitology and Mycology School of Medicine Shiraz University of Medical Sciences  Shiraz Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Fararouei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology School of Health Shiraz University of Medical Sciences  Shiraz Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1179\/136485910X12607012373957"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1473-3099(17)30331-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpara.2012.10.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.17-0542"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.actatropica.2017.05.030"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00436-016-5139-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/CVI.00234-09"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/vbz.2012.1283"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3923\/pjbs.2012.1052.1055"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","first-page":"233","article-title":"Trend of toxocariasis in Iran: a review on human and animal dimensions","volume":"18","author":"Zibaei M","year":"2017","journal-title":"Iran J Vet Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/tropej\/46.6.327"},{"issue":"13","key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","first-page":"16","article-title":"A survey about toxocariasis in Chaharmahal\u2010Va Bakhtiari province in first 6 months of 2000","volume":"5","author":"Yousefi H","year":"2001","journal-title":"Iran J Infect Dis Trop Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.17826\/cutf.55222"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268816001631"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","unstructured":"Statistical Center of Iran.Census of population and housing of Iran.
