“…In a systematic review and meta-analysis the seroprevalence of T. gondii in the general population of Iran has been reported 39.3% [26] that is consistent with our study on blood donors. T. gondii seroprevalence among blood donors in other countries was varied between 1 and 75% [27][28][29][30]. This difference in seroprevalence can be related to dietary habits, the culture of life, keeping cats in the home, geographic region, the level of heat and humidity in different areas related to the environment [4].…”

“…La transfusión sanguínea no es la forma más frecuente e importante de transmisión de la toxoplasmosis (1,3) , sobre todo si la sangre procede de un donador con infección pasada, es decir seropositivo solo a IgG; sin embargo, la infección latente y la reactivación de la enfermedad demostradas (5) , podrían sugerir la presencia de taquizoitos o bradizoitos del parásito en sangre donada y por lo tanto transmitir la enfermedad al receptor. La reactivación de la infección en pacientes con inmunocompromisos son causa importante de morbilidad y mortalidad actual (5,13) .…”

“…La infección primaria en gestantes es la más importante y puede producir la muerte fetal, lesiones neurológicas y oculares y secuelas discapacitantes (6)(7)(8)(9)(10) . Mientras que en personas inmunocomprometidas, la infección representa alta carga de morbilidad y mortalidad (5,(11)(12)(13) . Asimismo, estudios recientes han relacionado a la toxoplamsosis y la Esquizofrenia (14) .…”

“…Prevalence of T. gondii infection (based on immunoglobulin G antibodies) considerably varies between age groups and geographical regions [115,116]. Children often present with lower rates of infection; however, estimates of seroprevalence in adults range between 5 and 25% in North America, Western Europe, and East Asia, and upwards of 20% elsewhere [115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126]. Moreover, countries such as Brazil and Indonesia typically reported adult seroprevalence above 60% [115,124,127].…”
