Background   Toxoplasma gondii , an intracellular zoonotic parasite, infects all mammalian and birds. Understanding the prevalence of  Toxoplasma  in bird is important for evaluating the transmission of this parasite. No information about the seroprevalence of  T. gondii  in Java sparrows ( Lonchura oryzivora ) is available.    Results  In this study, from 2014 to 2015, 350 serum samples from Java sparrows were collected in Beijing and Shangqiu, Henan province, and the antibodies against  T. gondii  were evaluated with MAT. The seroprevalence in Java sparrows was 34.29% (CI 95%  29.31–39.26). A phenomenon of seropositivity tended to increase with age were observed, but the difference is not significant. The prevalence was significant different in gender and color, which could be risk factors.    Conclusions  This study firstly reported  T. gondii  seroprevalence in Java sparrows, which extended the host range of  T. gondii.  Java sparrows may pose significant transmission medium, accelerating the spread of  T. gondii  diffusion.
