We performed an age- and gender-matched case\u2014control study of 89 patients suffering from depression attended in a public psychiatric hospital in Durango City, Mexico and 356 control subjects without depression from the general population of the same city. Participants were tested for the presence of anti-<jats:italic>Toxoplasma<\/jats:italic> IgG and IgM antibodies using enzymelinked immunoassays. Anti-<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> IgG antibodies were found in 11 (12.4%) of the 89 cases and in 22 (6.2%) of the 356 controls (OR = 2.14; 95% CI: 1.00\u20134.59; P = 0.04). Anti-<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> IgM antibodies were found in four (19%) of 21 anti-<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> IgG seropositive controls but not in 11 anti-<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> IgG seropositive cases (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.27). Patients aged 30 years old and younger had a significantly higher seroprevalence of <jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> infection than controls of the same age group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.001). Results of the present study suggest a potential association between <jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> infection and depression. Furthers studies to confirm our results and to determine the epidemiology of <jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> in young depressed patients should be conducted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1556\/1886.2016.00010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,25]],"date-time":"2016-04-25T07:07:34Z","timestamp":1461568054000},"page":"85-89","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1556\/policypage.crossmark.crossref.2","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Toxoplasma
