<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The serological status to cytomegalovirus (CMV) was examined for 616 Brazilians and 399 Japanese immigrants living in the North‐East of Brazil. The sera were screened for IgG antibodies to CMV by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The overall prevalence of CMV antibodies was higher in the Japanese population (83.7%) than in the Brazilian population (69.8%). The seropositivity was analyzed by factors of age, sex, ethnic background, and socioeconomic status. Mother‐baby contact seems to be a factor of significance in the seroepidemiology of CMV infection.</jats:p>
