Toxoplasmosis is a major health problem in both developed and developing countries. Infection is transmitted to humans by consumption of raw or undercooked meat containing tissue cysts and by ingesting foods contaminated with oocysts from the feces of infected cats and felidae. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the incidence of T. gondii antibodies in 347 high school students from 28 different countries studying in Kayseri city.
