Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that can infect most warm-blooded animals, including humans. The infection is caused by Toxoplasma gondii called Toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis transmission can occur because of human behaviour’s such as keeping cats, eating raw vegetables and fruit with a less clean, not washing hands properly, and consuming food and drinks served without lids that could potentially be contaminated with oocysts, as well as soil-related work such as gardening and farming. Toxoplasma gondii is an infectious parasite that could be transmitted through blood transfusions. The aim of this research was to detect IgM and IgG antibodies of Toxoplasma gondii in blood donors by Rapid Diagnostic method at PMI Kabupaten Magelang. This research is a descriptive observational with a cross sectional design and used 25 respondents with blood categories A, B, O, and AB at PMI Kabupaten Magelang in 2022. According to the results of the Toxoplasmosis examination utilizing the Rapid Diagnostic Test technique on blood donors at PMI Kabupaten Magelang, as many as 25 respondents obtained non-reactive IgM and IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii. It could be concluded that no respondents were found to have reactive IgM and IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii.
