Abstract Background findings on association of Toxoplasmosis and suicide is contradictory. This paper aimed to resolve this uncertainty with help of Meta-analysis. Methods using keywords include “Toxoplasmosis” and “suicide” and the relayed synonyms in international databases such as ISI, Medline and Scopus, we found the relevant studies. The eligible studies included into Meta-analysis phase. Random effect approach was used to combine the results. Results out of 150 initial studies, 16 were included into meta-analysis. Odds of suicide in person with toxoplasmosis was 47% (OR: 1.47, 95%CI; 1.20 to 1.79) higher than of that without toxoplasmosis. Test for publication bias was not statistically significant, which indicate absence of likely publication bias. Conclusion This study confirm which toxoplasmosis is a potential risk factor for suicide. To reduce cases of suicide attributable to Toxoplasmosis, it deserving the measures to prevent and control of transmission of toxoplasmosis should be taken.
