ABO and Rhesus blood groups and anti-<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> IgG and IgM antibodies were determined using commercially available assays. Of the 2,053 people studied, 171\u00a0(8.3%) were positive for anti-<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> IgG antibodies. Sixty-five (38.0%) and 36 (21.1%) of these 171 individuals had high anti-<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> IgG antibody levels (\u2265150 IU mL<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>) and anti-<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> IgM antibodies, respectively. We found the following prevalences of <jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> infection among the ABO groups: 8.5% in group A, 4.3% in group B, 4.7% in group AB, and 8.9% in group O (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.19). The prevalences of <jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> infection among Rh groups were: 8.4% in the Rh-positive group and 7.1% in the\u00a0Rh-negative group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.58). Logistic regression analysis showed that the frequencies of ABO and\u00a0Rh blood groups were similar (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05) among people with positive and negative serology for anti-<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> IgG antibodies, with high (\u2265150 IU mL<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>) and lower (&lt;150 IU mL<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>) levels of anti-<jats:italic>T.\u00a0gondii<\/jats:italic> IgG antibodies, and with positive and negative serology for anti-<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> IgM antibodies.
