Abstract:
For this purpose, toxoplasma antibodies were determined by latex agglutination test. Two kinds of human sera were examined: people in "good health" from North of Centrafrican Republic and patients from Bangui. In North, 40% of sera gave positive results and young girls from 1 to 14 years old seem to become positive earlier than young boys. At Bangui, 81% of sera from pregnant women coming from Medical Service was positive; all from 8 patients with ocular affections was positive and only 5 on 10 with adenopathy.

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...

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...
