Abstract
⺠We compare prevalence of toxoplasmosis in 500 jungle soldiers with 501 soldiers in Bogotá. ⺠ELISA and real time PCR assays were used. ⺠Prevalence was 80% in jungle soldiers vs. 45% in urban soldiers. ⺠Drink of un-boiled natural water was significantly associated to a higher prevalence. ⺠Soldiers before to go in jungle should receive personnel filters to purify his water.
