Our data is the first revealing an association between <i>T. gondii</i> and trait anxiety in a serointensity-dependent manner in individuals with ADHD. Further research is needed to clarify the clinical impact of the observed lower trait anxiety in individuals with ADHD and latent <i>T. gondii</i> infection.
