Serological Evaluation and Molecular Genotyping of Toxoplasma gondii in Pregnant Women in Meshkin-Shahr District, Northwestern Iran
The seroprevalence of <i>Toxoplasma</i> infection is not high in pregnant women. Seropositive women are not safe from congenital transmission. <i>T. gondii</i> type III is the etiology of fetus infection in mothers with spontaneous abortion. It seems that screening and essential care are still necessary during pregnancy.
