Six agglutination tests for detecting Toxoplasma gondii-specific antibodies (immunoglobulin G or M) in serum were performed and compared. In total, 599 sera were examined using direct and indirect agglutination assays. Sensitivity varied from 93.7% to 100% and specificity from 97.1% to 99.2%. In a selected population with interfering diseases, the percentage of false positives ranged from 4.3% ...

Uveitis a vision threatening inflammation of uvea is prevalent worldwide. In the United States uveitis has prevalence of 2.3 million people and causes 10% of all cases of blindness. Uveitis is classified by the ocular structures involved e.g., anterior, intermediate, posterior and panuveitis.0cular TB(Eales’ disease) is common in patients from Indian sub-continent. Frequent uveitis etiologies i...

Ocular toxoplasmosis (OT) is a major cause of posterior uveitis worldwide but its incidence and prevalence are difficult to establish precisely. In 1993, a survey in a French Hospital Service of Ophthalmology showed that OT was seen in less than 1 per thousand outpatients [1]. In a study performed in Germany, toxoplasmosis accounted for 4.2 % of all cases of uveitis at a referral centre [2]. Ar...

A massive and notorious impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected communities worldwide, urging extra preventive measure, especially for individuals with comorbidities including those who are suffering from human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). We reported a case 45-year-old man severe acute respiratory 2 (SARS-CoV-2) HIV infectio...

BACKGROUND Toxoplasma gondii, an apicomplexan parasite, is capable of infecting a broad range of intermediate warm-blooded hosts including humans. The parasite seems to be capable of altering the natural behavior of the host to favor its transmission in the environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the course, alterations in behavior along with normal kinetics of the abnormally induced...

The aim of this study was to detect the relationship between Toxoplasmosis, Cytomegalovirus infections and occurrence abortion. records 173 aborted women age less than twenty years fifty old attending hospital Samaraa general from October 2015 April 2016 were reviewed. Investigation by using VIDAS technique represented that T. Gondii antibodies showed in 54(31.2 %) ,while 23(13.3 infected with ...

In this paper, we construct a generalized epidemiological mathematical model to study toxoplasmosis dynamics, taking into consideration both cat and mouse populations. The incorporates proportions for the congenital transmission in populations, along with oocysts available environment. We focus on determining conditions under which can be eradicated. conduct stability analysis order reveal dyna...

Toxoplasmosis merupakan penyakit zoonosis yang disebabkan oleh parasit Toxoplasma gondi. Prevalensi toxoplasmosis di Indonesia hingga tahun 2017 pernah dilaporkan adalah 43-88% kasus. Manusia dapat tertular melalui Feses kucing mengandung ookista gondii, sehingga pemelihara membutuhkan pengetahuan tentang dan pencegahan penularan toksoplasmosis. Tingkat menjadi suatu aspek dalam tindakan toxopl...

Gamma and delta (gamma delta) T-cell receptor lymphocytes are increased during acute toxoplasmosis. These cells are BB3+ CD45RO+ CD8-. Purified gamma delta T cells failed to proliferate in response to Toxoplasma gondii antigen (stimulation index, 1.4 +/- 0.6) but were responsive to phytohemagglutinin stimulation (stimulation index, 20.8 +/- 1.9). Natural-killer-like cytotoxicity was strongly ac...
