Three-hundred sixty blood samples of goats were collected in hamedan province.14.4% of the sera were positive using ELISA. There was a significant differences between infection rate, history of abortion, and different climate; unlike to age groups and gender. In conclusion, this is the first report of T. gondii infection in goats in western Iran.
