Statistics were collected from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital in the Diwaniyah Governorate Center and some clinics in the suburbs, where the statistical results of 90 examinations were conducted on the serum of women with toxoplasmosis in Diwaniyah Governorate. Where 45 samples were examined with the latex test, and the percentage of positive samples was 84%, while the ELISA-IgG test was 75%, as 20 samples were examined with this test … As for the ELISA-IgM test, the highest infection rate was 88% for the 25 samples that were examined. While the current test results using the latex test showed a high rate of infection in ages between 15-25 years, where the infection rate was 90% of the total samples examined. The lowest percentage was 70% in the age groups of 35-45 years. And by using the IgG ELISA test – the infection rate was high in ages between 5-25 years, where the infection rate was 85% of the total samples examined. And the lowest rate was 60% in the age groups of35-45 years.The results of the test using the IgM ELISA test – a high incidence rate for ages between 25-35 years, where the infection rate was 83% of the total samples examined . And the lowest rate was 60% in the age groups of 35-45 years.The study included the prevalence of Toxoplasma infection between women in Al-Diwaniyah governorate. The data of obstetrics and gynecology hospital records by latex test. The test results showed a 90% infection rate in the sub-districts, while in the center the infection was 78%
