Coopération médico-vétérinaire et réduction de l’incidence de la toxoplasmose en France

Abstract

La toxoplasmose est une zoonose de répartition mondiale, due au protozoaire Toxoplasma gondii capable d'infecter tous les animaux à sang chaud. L'infection est généralement inapparente ou bénigne chez l'homme sauf en cas d'immunodépression ou lors de transmission materno-foetale (à l'origine de la toxoplasmose congénitale). Chez les animaux de rente, elle peut être source d'avortements à l'origine de pertes économiques. La contamination se fait le plus souvent par ingestion de kystes (présents dans les viandes) ou d'oocystes souillant les végétaux ou l'eau. Seule la part liée à la contamination des viandes est évoquée dans cet article. Grâce à une coopération entre vétérinaires et médecins du Laboratoire National de Référence Parasites transmis par les aliments (Anses,

Seroprevalence of Toxoplasmosis in Pregnant Women in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo

“…The relationship between the level of pregnancy study and positive toxoplasmic serology was assessed in the present study, and it was not significant. This is in line with observations made in a Medico-Veterinary cooperation report in France, which linked the occurrence of Toxoplasmosis in humans in general, to eating habits [26]. This is the same observation made by Bruno P et al, Who linked the contamination to poor daily eating habits, namely the consumption of nonpotable water, poorly prepared plants and uncooked foods, in particular meats but also above all, room hands [27].…”

“…The majority of them (30.85%) was illiterates, their median age was 22 years [21][22][23][24][25]; they were followed by those with a grade school level (29.36%), then high school level (16.35%), with medians of 23 years [20][21][22][23][24][25] and 27 years respectively [23][24][25][26][27][28]. These data are similar to those of the studies by Messerer LS and al.…”

Hygiene measures as primary prevention of toxoplasmosis during pregnancy: a systematic review

“…No significant difference was observed between imported and French meats. T.gondii contamination of meat was also shown for beef by Blaga et al in 2019 ((31)) who were able to estimate the level of toxoplasma infection of sheep, cattle and pig meat in France, (31,32,32,33). The seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis ranged from 3% to 69.5% depending on the species and origin of the meat.…”
