Background  Nothing is known about  Toxoplasma gondii  prevalence in donkeys in Mexico. Meat from donkey is consumed by humans in Mexico and also exported to other countries. We sought to determine the presence of antibodies against  T. gondii  in 239 domestic donkeys ( Equus asinus ) for slaughter in Durango, Mexico using the modified agglutination test (MAT). Donkeys were sampled in four premises (trade centers) where donkeys were gather for shipment to abattoirs in other Mexican states.    Results  Antibodies to  T. gondii  were found in 26 (10.9%) of 239 donkeys, with MAT titers of 1:25 in 7, 1:50 in 11, 1:100 in 6, and 1:200 in 2. Seropositive donkeys were found in three (75%) of the four gathering premises studied. Seroprevalence in donkeys varied from 0% to 23.1% among gathering premises. The seroprevalence of  T. gondii  infection was comparable among donkeys regardless their age, sex or health status. Seropositivity to  T. gondii  was found in donkeys between 1 to 12 years old. Multivariate analysis showed that seropositivity to  T. gondii  was associated with the gathering premises (OR = 1.58; 95% CI: 1.11-2.24;  P  = 0.009).    Conclusions  This is the first report of  T. gondii  infection in donkeys in Mexico. Results indicate that consumption of undercooked or raw meat from  T. gondii -infected donkeys is potentially a source of  T. gondii  infection for humans.
