Currently, the probability of pregnant women in China being infected with Toxoplasma gondii is about 5% to 20%. In some areas, the infection rate is relatively high, at about 30%.

Toxoplasma infection has a serious impact on the body of pregnant women. It will spread with the blood and be transferred to the fetus through the placenta. It has a serious impact on pregnancy, and may cause miscarriage or premature birth, as well as intrauterine fetal infection. After pregnancy, you must pay attention to personal hygiene, wash your hands with soap before eating, soak vegetables and fruits in water for a while after buying them, or use professional fruit and vegetable cleaning agents to eliminate the eggs and bacteria on the surface.

Prevention is also needed during pregnancy to reduce toxoplasmosis infection. Women should avoid contact with pets, such as cats and dogs, after pregnancy. Pets contain a large number of parasite eggs in their bodies, which can be transmitted through close contact or excrement. Diet should also be improved during the prevention of toxoplasmosis infection. Meat and eggs need to be heated at high temperature before eating.
