background: toxoplasmosis is a worldwide-distributed infection which is mostly asymptomatic but can cause serious health problems in congenitally-infected newborns and immunecompromised individuals. research is undergoing both to improve toxoplasma serological tests, which play the main role in laboratory diagnosis of the infection, and develop an effective vaccine to prevent the infection. som...

Background: The diagnosis of toxoplasmosis is most critical in pregnant women who acquire infection during gestation and also in fetuses and newborns who are congenitally infected. This study described the performance of molecular and confirmatory serologic testing for toxoplasma infection in the tissues of human spontaneous aborted fetuses and their mothers' blood. Materials and Methods...

background: there was not documented evidence of toxoplasma infection in hamadan previously, but a brief report of isolation of a t. gondi strain from a turkey that it had high virulence to mice. in order to study of toxoplasma infection in the at risk population and to determine seropositivity in this target population, women aged 15 to 45 years, a study carried out in hamadan. methods: a tota...

Numerous recent studies show that vitamin D deficiency potentiates various chronic physical and psychiatric disorders diseases. It has been shown a similar range of is also associated with latent infection Toxoplasma gondii (Nicolle et Manceaux, 1908). For instance, among cancer, diabetes schizophrenia patients, we find higher prevalence both toxoplasmosis deficiency. Theoretically, therefore, ...

Objective Objective: Toxoplasma gondii is one of the major causes of abortion in pregnant women. Most cases of abortion occur in the acute phase of infection and early pregnancy. In this study, the seroprevalence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgM and IgG antibodies was investigated in women with first spontaneous abortion. Also to determine the acute and chronic infections, all IgM and IgG positive...

background : toxoplasma gondii is a worldwide obligate intercellular parasite. felids are its definitive host and warm-blooded animals including humans are its intermediate host. the aim of this seroepidemiological study was to investigate the frequency of human infection using elisa method and related risk factors in tabriz city, northwestern iran. methods : in this cross sectional study, 171 ...

BACKGROUND Seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in different populations may vary according to different environments, social customs and habits. This study was designed to measure the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis among patients with different malignancies and to ascertain the association between common risk factors and disease transmission. METHODS This Cross-sectional study was from January t...

Latent toxoplasmosis is the most widespread parasite infection in developed and developing countries. The prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection varies mostly between 20 to 80% in different territories. This form of toxoplasmosis is generally considered to be asymptomatic. Recently published results, however, suggest that the personality profiles of infected subjects differ from those of uni...
