The incidence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in some patients from Sirte, Libya
الملخص
Background and objective:
Toxoplasmosis is a widespread infecting disease caused by the coccidian parasite Toxoplasma Gondi in humans and other warm-blooded animals. This survey was conducted to show the incidence of infection by the latex agglutination test in some patients of various age groups in Sirt, Libya (LAT). ). We also aimed to find out the possible risk factors of acquiring this infection in Libyan at Sirt region.
