The present study was conducted aiming at investigating the medical, biological and biochemical importance of toxoplasmosis and the effect of the causative agent, Toxoplasma gondii ,on the level of the enzymes in the serum and placentae of infected pregnant women compared to non- pregnant, non- infected women (control group) he study included 450 specimens of women , 225 out of them were non- infected and 225 were infected with toxoplasmosis.A significant increase (p≤0.01) in activity of Px, GST ,LDH and AchE whereas non-significant decrease in activity of SOD and AE was noticed, compared to control group.Interference between infection and different pregnancy periods showed a significant increase (p≤0.01) in activity of SOD, Px, LDH and AE in serum of pregnant, infected women during 1-3 months pregnancy period , whereas GST increased significantly (p≤0.01) in activity during 3-6 months pregnancy period and AchE during 6-9 months pregnancy period.The result related to the placentae of the pregnancy women who are infected with Toxoplasmosis showed a non-significant increasing in activity of: SOD, GST, LDH, and AchE through period of pregnancy ranged (6-9) months. Also; efficiency of AE increased through period of pregnancy ranged (1-3) months; but activity of Px through period of pregnancy in placentae of the pregnant infected women decreased.
