We determined the prevalence of<jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic>.<jats:italic>gondii<\/jats:italic>infection in healthy blood donors in Hermosillo city, Mexico, and the association of infection with<jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic>.<jats:italic>gondii<\/jats:italic>with the sociodemographic, clinical, and behavioral characteristics of blood donors. Four hundred and eight blood donors who attended two public blood banks in Hermosillo city were examined for anti-<jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic>.<jats:italic>gondii<\/jats:italic>IgG and IgM antibodies by using enzyme-linked immunoassays. Of the 408 blood donors (mean age<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mn fontstyle=\"italic\">31.77<\/mml:mn><mml:mo>\u00b1<\/mml:mo><mml:mn fontstyle=\"italic\">9.52<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>; range 18\u201360 years old) studied, 55 (13.5%) were positive for anti-<jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic>.<jats:italic>gondii<\/jats:italic>IgG antibodies, and 12 (21.8%) of them were also positive for anti-<jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic>.<jats:italic>gondii<\/jats:italic>IgM antibodies. Multivariate analysis showed that seropositivity to<jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic>.<jats:italic>gondii<\/jats:italic>was associated with age (OR = 1.74; 95% CI: 1.03\u20132.94;<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M2\"><mml:mi>P<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo><mml:mn fontstyle=\"italic\">0.03<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>) and tobacco use (OR = 2.09; 95% CI: 1.02\u20134.29;<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M3\"><mml:mi>P<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo><mml:mn fontstyle=\"italic\">0.04<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>). Seropositivity to<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic>was correlated with the number of pregnancies, deliveries, and cesarean sections. The seroprevalence of<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic>infection in blood donors in Sonora is the highest reported in blood donors in northern Mexico so far. This is the first report of an association of<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic>exposure and tobacco use.
