[Seroepidemiologic study of toxoplasmosis in the school population of Sousse]

To obtain basic epidemiological data about toxoplasmosis in our area, we undertook a serological investigation of the female school population of Sousse City. 33% of the students in college (mean age: 17.8 years) are seronegatives. Social economic status seems not to be important for the risk of infection. The more important source of contamination may be the soil.
