We aimed to determine the association between the seropositivity to Toxoplasma gondii and the ABO and Rh blood groups in 2,053 people. ABO and Rhesus blood groups and anti-T. gondii IgG and IgM antibodies were determined using commercially available assays.

Seroprevalence of in Women of Reproductive Age and Associated Risk Factors in Chiapas, Mexico.

We analyzed the seroepidemiology of infection in women of reproductive age in Chiapas, Mexico. One hundred seven women (mean age 25.3 years; range: 13-42 years) were enrolled in a public hospital.

Survey on the association between Toxoplasma gondii infection and violent behavior in inmates.

We evaluated the association between T. gondii seropositivity and violent behavior in a sample of inmates in Durango, Mexico. Through a cross-sectional study design, we studied 128 inmates (mean age: 35.

Toxoplasma gondii infection and insomnia: A case control seroprevalence study.

We determined the association between Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) infection and insomnia. Through an age-and gender-matched case-control study, 577 people with insomnia (cases) and 577 people without insomnia (controls) were tested for anti-T.

Is Infection Associated with Sexual Promiscuity? A Cross-Sectional Study.

We determined the association between seropositivity and a history of sexual promiscuity. The study included 3933 people (mean age: 41.81 ± 14.

Hepatitis E Virus Infection and Butchers: A Case-Control Seroprevalence Study.

Background: Very few case-control studies to assess the risk of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection in meat workers have been published. Therefore, we sought to determine: 1) the association of HEV IgG seropositivity and the occupation of butcher; and 2) the sociodemographic, work, clinical and behavioral characteristics of butchers associated with HEV exposure.

Methods: We performed a case-control seroprevalence study of 101 butchers (mean age: 38.

infection in people in the city of Durango, Mexico: a cross sectional study.

Objective: To determine the seroprevalence of immunoglobulin (Ig)G and IgM antibodies and its association with the characteristics of the study population from the northern Mexican city of Durango, Mexico.

Methods: Through a cross-sectional study design, inhabitants of Durango City, Mexico were surveyed between June 2018 and November 2018. Serum samples from the subjects were analysed for anti- IgG and IgM antibodies using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.

Seroepidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii infection in people with alcohol consumption in Durango, Mexico.

The seroepidemiology of infection with Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) in alcohol consumers is largely undeveloped. In light of this, we sought to determine the seroprevalence of T.

Hepatitis E virus infection and waste pickers: A case-control seroprevalence study.

Whether waste pickers are a risk group for hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is largely unknown. This study aimed to determine the association between HEV exposure and the occupation of waste pickers and the work characteristics of waste pickers. An age-and gender-matched case-control seroprevalence study of 86 waste pickers and 86 control subjects of the general population was performed.

infection in pregnant women: a cross-sectional study in Matehuala City, Mexico.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of () infection in pregnant women in Matehuala City, Mexico; and the associated risk factors.

Design: A cross-sectional study.

Setting: Matehuala City, Mexico.

Toxoplasma gondii infection and multiple sclerosis: An age- and a gender-matched case-control seroprevalence study.

The link between Toxoplasma gondii infection and multiple sclerosis remains controversial. In the present study, we aimed to determine the association between T. gondii seropositivity and multiple sclerosis.

Low prevalence of anti-hepatitis E virus IgG antibodies in Tepehuanos in Mexico.

Introduction And Objective: The epidemiology of infection with hepatitis E virus (HEV) in Tepehuanos (a Mexican ethnic group living in rural areas) is largely unknown. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of and risk factors associated with HEV infection in Tepehuanos in Durango, Mexico, and to compare this seroprevalence with that in non-Tepehuanos.

Materials And Methods: Through a case-control seroprevalence study, we studied 146 Tepehuanos and 146 age- and gender-matched control subjects of the general population from rural settings.

A Case-Control Seroprevalence Study on the Association Between Infection and Bipolar Disorder.

Infection with the parasite has been associated with bipolar disorder in several countries other than Mexico. Therefore, we sought to determine the association between seropositivity to and bipolar disorder in a Mexican population. We performed an age- and gender-matched case-control study of 66 patients with bipolar disorder (WHO code: F31) and 396 subjects without this disorder from the general population.

Low Seroprevalence in People in Rural Durango, Mexico.

The epidemiology of infection in rural Mexico is largely unknown. Therefore, we sought to determine the seroprevalence of infection in rural people in a northern Mexican state. We performed a cross-sectional seroprevalence study of 641 people living in rural Durango State including 282 subjects of the general population, 214 subjects of Huichol ethnicity, and 145 subjects of Mennonite ethnicity.

Comparison of major depression diagnostic classification probability using the SCID, CIDI, and MINI diagnostic interviews among women in pregnancy or postpartum: An individual participant data meta-analysis.

Objectives: A previous individual participant data meta-analysis (IPDMA) identified differences in major depression classification rates between different diagnostic interviews, controlling for depressive symptoms on the basis of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. We aimed to determine whether similar results would be seen in a different population, using studies that administered the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in pregnancy or postpartum.

Methods: Data accrued for an EPDS diagnostic accuracy IPDMA were analysed.
