    Vaccination

    [edit ]

    Ok, after deeper consideration a vaccination information should be mentioned in this article here. Will add this under the "Research" section. Well, can I copy it (with little modification) from the Toxoplasma gondii article?

    As of 2015, no approved human vaccine exists against Toxoplasmosis.[1] Research on human Toxoplasma gondii vaccines is ongoing.[2]

    For sheep there is available an approved live vaccine called Toxovax (MSD Animal Health) which provides lifetime protection.[3]

    Symptoms section needs to be rewritten to be about symptoms

    [edit ]

    It says:

    Latent toxoplasmosis[edit] It is easy for a host to become infected with Toxoplasma gondii and develop toxoplasmosis without knowing it. In most immunocompetent people, the infection enters a latent phase, during which only bradyzoites are present,[16] forming cysts in nervous and muscle tissue. Most infants who are infected while in the womb have no symptoms at birth, but may develop symptoms later in life.[17]

    When you read this, instead of telling you signs and symptoms, it tells you what the parasites are doing and the fact that babies infected in the womb can have no symptoms and might develop symptoms later on. The problem is that this section doesn't actually tell you any of the symptoms/signs, and it especially doesn't tell you symptoms/signs for someone who got the parasite while free from his womb.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:4080:.&checktime(1106,0,51,':')b5:f291:cec1:ec99 (talk) July 2014

    Corrolations

    [edit ]

    " The prevalence of toxoplasmosis correlated with specific disease burden in particular countries explaining 23% of variability in disease burden in Europe. The analyses revealed that for example, DALY of 23 of 128 analyzed diseases and disease categories on the WHO list showed correlations (18 positive, 5 negative) with prevalence of toxoplasmosis and another 12 diseases showed positive trends (p<0.1). For several obtained significant correlations between the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis and specific diseases/clinical entities, possible pathophysiological, biochemical and molecular explanations are presented."

    A toxoplasmosis is incurable

    [edit ]

    The article oddly omits the fact that a toxoplasmosis is incurable. Otherwise, half the population wouldn't be affected by it. Voproshatel (talk) 09:56, 26 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
