Abstract

It is necessary to conduct a toxoplasmosis test for people of both sexes, especially blood donors, as this disease has
different paths. The danger of the disease lies in the fact that it is transmitted in different ways and its symptoms do not
appear in people with good immunity. It is only transmitted and its symptoms and complications appear in people with
weak immunity. Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that is widely spread in most Iraqi cities. This study demonstrated the
necessity of screening blood donors for Toxoplasma gondii, as the parasite can be transmitted through the bloodstream,
causing harm and complications. After examining the presence of the parasite, significant levels of it were found in the
blood. Toxoplasma gondii was diagnosed using various diagnostic methods, the most common of which were rapid testing,
molecular testing, and immunological testing. The cases were reported among blood donors of different ages and genders,
especially those coming to blood banks in cities.
