Public Health Implications of Latent Toxoplasmosis and Its Association With Type 2 Diabetes: A Case–Control Study in Qazvin, North‐Western Iran
The results indicated a higher seroprevalence of latent <i>T. gondii</i> infection in diabetic patients from Qazvin province, suggesting an epidemiological association between toxoplasmosis and diabetes. Significant correlates identified included age and living environment. These findings underscore a notable epidemiological link between latent toxoplasmosis and type 2 diabetes, highlighting the need for integrated public health attention to this association in endemic regions.
