A sero-epidemiological survey of toxoplasmosis has been carried out in 1178 subjects residing in urban and suburban areas of Libreville, Gabon. Two techniques were used: Pastorex toxo of the Institut Pasteur and ISAGA of bioMérieux. The acquisition of antibodies occurs at an early age, from the age of six months on. After the age of 15 years, the age of procreation, the prevalence is 68%. Between the ages of 15 and 19 years, 19% have IgM. The risk for toxoplasmosis acquired during pregnancy is not to be neglected. It decreases between the ages of 20 and 30 years. The most probable source of contamination is the reservoir from the soil. No difference between the sexes was observed.
