No significant difference was found among sexes. The presence of T. gondii antibodies were distributed in eight age categories; a minor and a major presence of specific IgG for the young and old age groups, respectively was found. The relationship of specific antibodies and ABO blood groups were considered for the masculine gender. The AB blood group a significant difference (P < 0.05), except for the B blood group in the rate of T. gondii antibodies.
