Seroprevalence and Risk Factors of Toxoplasmosis in Cats and Women Undergoing Prenatal Consultation in Coyah, Guinea
Abstract
The objective of this study is to describe the epidemiological situation of toxoplasmosis in cats and women undergoing prenatal consultation in the city of Coyah (Guinea). During the study, 100 cat sera and 100 sera from women in prenatal consultation were analyzed with a Toxo-Screen DA (Modified Antigen Agglutination Test) kit. The results indicated prevalences of 73%±8.7 in antenatal women and 51%±9.8 in cats. There was no association found between the variables and Toxoplasma gondii seroprevalence in prenatal females and cats.
