Journal ArticleDOI

Sources of toxoplasma infection in pregnant women: European multicentre case-control study

TL;DR: Inadequately cooked or cured meat is the main risk factor for infection with toxoplasma in all centres and preventive strategies should aim to reduce prevalence of infection in meat, improve labelling of meat according to farming and processing methods, and improve the quality and consistency of health information given to pregnant women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 transmission through breastfeeding.

TL;DR: Since breastfeeding protects against infant deaths from infectious diseases, breastfeeding is still recommended where infectious diseases are a common cause of death in childhood, despite the additional risk of HIV transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human IgE, IgG4 and resistance to reinfection with Schistosoma haematobium

TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that the slow build-up of IgE to high levels and the early production of IgG4 antibodies, which may block IgE pathways, are responsible for delaying the development of protective immunity to S. haematobium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mother-to-child transmission of toxoplasmosis: risk estimates for clinical counselling.

TL;DR: Methods were developed to derive estimates of the risk of congenital toxoplasmosis by exact duration of gestation at maternal seroconversion, and women who seroconverted at 24-30 weeks of gestation carried the highest risk of having a congenitally infected child who was thus at risk of long-term complications.
