INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to analyze the exposure to risk factors for toxoplasmosis disease and the level of knowledge in pregnant women who were treated by the Public Health Care System (SUS) from October 2007 to September 2008 in Divinópolis City, Brazil. METHODS We analyzed 2,136 prenatal exams of pregnant women that were treated from October 2007 to September 2008. R...

From 1st Jan2009 to31th of Dec 2009 a total 1406 women sera with abortions and outcomes congenital abnormalities in Kirkuk city were screened for infections like Chlamydia trachomatis, Toxoplasma gondii cytomegalovirus (CMV).These agents determined using commercial Elisa diagnostic kits.
 Results the study showed that CMV infection was more prevalent 39.74 % followed by Toxoplasmosis 16.37...

Background and aims: Toxoplasmosis is a very common disease in the world. Two types of acquiredtoxoplasmosis have been detected. In the chronic toxoplasmosis, the abnormality of tissue functionis little but, in acute toxoplasmosis, function of RES system becomes interrupted. The assessment oftoxoplasma antibody with tissue enzymes in this stage is very important. Furthermore, ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immunoglobulin (Ig) G avidity of serological toxoplasmosis testing in patients with ocular inflammation and to determine the clinical manifestations of ocular toxoplasmosis. METHODS A retrospective review of all patients presenting with ocular inflammation to the Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia between 2005 and 20...

BACKGROUND The current roll-out of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) in many endemic countries has resulted in the reporting of fewer cases of malaria-attributed illnesses. However, lack of knowledge of the prevalence of other febrile illnesses and affordable diagnostic tests means that febrile patients are not managed optimally.

In this paper, we construct a more realistic mathematical model to study toxoplasmosis dynamics. The considers two discrete time delays. first delay is related the latent phase, which lag between when susceptible cat has effective contact with an oocyst and it begins produce oocysts. second that elapses from oocysts become present in environment they are able infect. main aim paper find conditi...
