Toxoplasma gondii Seroprevalence in the United States 2009–2010 and Comparison with the Past Two Decades
TL;DR: Although T. gondii antibody presence is still relatively common, the prevalence in the United States has continued to decline and the results compared with two previous NHANES studies suggest that the number of people infected with the parasite is decreasing.
