(1) Background: Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is one of the most prevalent parasites to affect humans and animals; (2) Methods: From January December 2020, using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit, cross-sectional study was conducted establish seroprevalence T. in 390 dromedary camels raised three governorates Egypt identify potential risk factors associated with infection; (3) Results: Overall, 46.9%. Moreover, locality, sex, age, contact small ruminants, history abortion, number parities were found as for infection univariable analysis. The seropositivity increased significantly living Marsa Matrouh (OR = 2.02), among more than 8 years old 5.28).
