Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. The presence of cats is a determining factor for the occurrence of toxoplasmosis, which together with dogs, serve as indicators of environmental contamination by T. gondii, especially due to their proximity to humans. Demonstrations of this parasite in animal reproductive tissues (testicles, ovaries and uterus) are inco…
The objective of this study was to investigate the influence KIR genes and their HLA ligands in the susceptibility of ocular toxoplasmosis. A total of 297 patients serologically-diagnosed with toxoplasmosis were selected and stratified according to presence (n=148) or absence (n=149) of ocular scars/lesions due toxoplasmosis. The group of patients with scars/lesions was further subdivided…
Gestational Toxoplasma gondii infection is considered a major risk factor for miscarriage, prematurity and low birth weight in animals. However, studies focusing on this topic in humans are scarce. The objective of this study is to determine whether anti-Toxoplasma gondii maternal serum profiles correlate prematurity and low birth weight in humans. The study examined 213 pregnant women se…

The project aims to evaluate the level of miR-132b expression in toxoplasmosis and Schizophrenia in order to relate miR-132b levels to the clinical picture of toxoplasmosis and Schizophrenia.(AU)
Toxoplasmosis is an infection of high global prevalence in which the majority of affected individuals are asymptomatic. However, gestational infection with Toxoplasma gondii is a serious public health problem, since the vertical transmission of toxoplasmosis can cause severe impacts in newborns. The general objective of this project is to evaluate the congenital T. gondii infection in pre…

Recently researchers demonstrate a wide variety of genotypes worldwide especially in South American countries including Brazil and Argentina. The presence of non clonal lineages with high probability of virulent behavior emphasizes the importance of studying this parasitosis in our region. The most used technique for genotyping is multilocus nested polymerase chain reaction followed by …
