Management of Toxoplasma gondii Infection during Pregnancy
TL;DR: Systematic education and serological screening of pregnant women are the most reliable and currently available strategies for the prevention, diagnosis, and early treatment of the infection in the offspring; this is largely because toxoplasmosis in pregnant women most often goes unrecognized.

The global burden of congenital toxoplasmosis: a systematic review
TL;DR: Congenital toxoplasmosis poses a substantial burden of poor health globally and should be included in future updates of the global burden of disease and the corresponding data should be used to support public health interventions to reduce disease burden.
