TLDR
A high level of latent toxoplasmosis in pregnant women, especially in some low- and middle-income countries of Africa and South America, is indicated, although the local prevalence varied markedly.About:

TL;DR: A high toxoplasma seropositivity in pregnant women at global, regional and country levels, with a consequential high risk of maternal and congenital toxoplasmosis is presented.

Foodborne transmission of Toxoplasma gondii infection in the last decade. An overview.
Sonia Almería,Jitender P. Dubey +1 more
TL;DR: The knowledge of T. gondii infections in the last decade focusing on the foodborne transmission of this parasite is discussed, a parasite of high importance in animal health, causing reproductive failure, particularly in small ruminants, and clinical toxoplasmosis in many species.

Mercedes Fernández-Escobar,Gereon Schares,Pavlo Maksimov,Maike Joeres,Luis Miguel Ortega-Mora,Rafael Calero-Bernal +5 more
TL;DR: Standardized, high-end typing tools and integrative strategies are needed to fill the gaps and complete an accurate image of the T. gondii genetic population in Europe.

Challenging TaqMan probe-based real-time PCR and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP): the two sensitive molecular techniques for the detection of toxoplasmosis, a potentially dangerous opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients.

TL;DR: The results show that TaqMan probe-based real-time PRC is a sensitive and specific method for the detection of toxoplasmosis in immunocompromised individuals, as well as the LAMP assay, which can be used as a suitable alternative diagnostic method forThe detection of toxicosis in such patients, without need the for any expensive equipment.

Potential risk factors associated with seropositivity for Toxoplasma gondii among pregnant women and HIV infected individuals in Ethiopia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: The pooled prevalence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies was found to be higher among pregnant women and HIV infected individuals, suggesting that thousands of immunocompromised individuals (pregnant women andAIDS infected patients) are at risk of toxoplasmosis due to the sociocultural and living standards of the communities of Ethiopia.

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses
TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.

Epidemiology of and Diagnostic Strategies for Toxoplasmosis
TL;DR: This review focuses on epidemiological and diagnostic aspects, putting them in perspective with current knowledge of parasite genotypes, and provides critical information on diagnostic methods according to the patient's background.

Methods to estimate the between-study variance and its uncertainty in meta-analysis
Areti Angeliki Veroniki,Dan Jackson,Wolfgang Viechtbauer,Ralf Bender,Jack Bowden,Guido Knapp,Oliver Kuss,Julian P T Higgins,Julian P T Higgins,Dean Langan,Georgia Salanti +10 more
TL;DR: The aim is to identify known methods for estimation of the between‐study variance and its corresponding uncertainty, and to summarise the simulation and empirical evidence that compares them and recommend the Q‐profile method and the alternative approach based on a ‘generalised Cochran between‐ study variance statistic’.
