Abstrakt: Serological screening for toxoplasmosis in pregnant women in Gabon is not always systematic during pregnancy. However, whether in urban, rural or semi-rural areas, hygiene and living conditions are often precarious for these populations at risk. This state of affairs constitutes a favorable terrain for the dissemination of the disease. It is in this context that the objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence and risk factors predicting Toxoplama gondiiinfection in pregnant women in the province of Ogooué-Lolo, of which Koula-Moutou is the capital, a semi-rural area in central-eastern Gabon.
