Materials and Methods: One hundred blood samples were collected from free Range chickens by a cluster random sampling method and tested for toxoplasmosis by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbant Assay (ELISA). The results were analyzed by SPSS software using Chi-Square test and a P value <0.05 was considered statically significant.

Results: Results revealed ,that 18% of Free-Ranging chickens positive by ELISA respectively. Although the difference observed in the percentage of T. gondii antibodies among different areas of Tabriz city, Iran, there was no significant differences P < 0.05 detected by the ELISA method.

Conclusion: Based on cultural and food habits in our area, the meat and viscera of chicken may be important sources of infection in human when consuming semi-cooked meats.
