Toxoplasma gondii
Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular, parasitic protozoan and a causative agent of toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis falls into the group of TORCH infections considered potentially harmful to a child’s development and to the health of pregnant women.
Congenital toxoplasmosis is the most severe; so special attention is given to diagnostics of the disease during pregnancy. There is a potential risk of transplacental transmission (15 % in the first trimester and 65 % at the end of pregnancy).
Laboratory diagnosis of toxoplasmosis is performed using ELISA, while PCR is used to confirm the diagnosis.
The Toxoplasma gondii Real-Time PCR Detection Kit is in vitro DNA test, which is intended for the specific identification of Toxoplasma gondii in human biological samples.
