Infection in pregnant women can cause severe conditions for their babies. Until now, there is no data regarding\n                    <jats:italic>Toxoplasma<\/jats:italic>\n                    infection from Makassar pregnant mothers.

This cross-sectional study conducted in 9 of 47 primary health centres (Puskesmas) in Makassar. Blood samples and questionnaires were collected from 184 pregnant women aged 15\u201342 years old from September to October 2020. ELISA technique was used to examine the IgG and IgM antibodies. Univariable and multivariable analyses were carried out to measure factors that independently associate with\n                    <jats:italic>Toxoplasma<\/jats:italic>\n                    antibody positivity. Our result showed the range of\n                    <jats:italic>Toxoplasma<\/jats:italic>\n                    IgM and IgG are 0.06\u20131.01 and 0.09\u20133.01, respectively. While no one of our participants has an acute\n                    <jats:italic>Toxoplasma gondii<\/jats:italic>\n                    infection (IgM positive), we found 32,6% pregnant mothers are exposed to parasite (positive IgG). Contact with cats [OR(95%CI): 10.45(3.77\u201328.99)], consume chicken satay [OR(95%CI): 9.72(3.71\u201325.48)] and consume un-boiled water\/ filtered water [OR(95%CI): 5.98(1.77\u201320.23)] are independently associate with positive\n                    <jats:italic>Toxoplasma<\/jats:italic>\n                    IgG antibody.
