    In Toulouse, various epidemiological works and biological results regarding toxoplasma infection permitted us to study immunity in pregnant women. 66 to 70% are immunized. Incidence of acquired toxoplasmosis is 1 to 2 for 1,000 pregnancies. Carefully planned, regionalized programs with obstetricians and pediatricians are realized to prevent congenital toxoplasmosis. Epidemiological studies may be realized to estimate the prevalence and the incidence of congenital toxoplasmosis before such programs can be recommended on a national scale in tropical area.

    Toxoplasmosis

    Toxoplasmosis, a zoonotic disease caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, poses significant public health challenges globally due to its high seroprevalence and varied clinical manifestations. As an obligate intracellular parasite, T. gondii can infect all warm-blooded vertebrates, but felids are its only definitive hosts, shedding unsporulated oocysts into the environment. Humans typically acquire the infection through ingestion of tissue cysts in undercooked meat or oocysts from...

    American Trypanosomiasis

    Chagas disease, or American trypanosomiasis, is a vector-borne parasitic infection caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a flagellated protozoan (kinetoplastid) of the family Trypanosomatidae. The disease is endemic in Latin America, although cases are increasingly reported worldwide due to human migration. Transmission most commonly occurs when feces of infected triatomine bugs contaminate bite wounds or mucosal surfaces; additional routes include congenital, transfusional, transplant-related, and oral...
