Article Synopsis
- * It utilizes immunoassays (IgG and IgM) on dried blood spots and compares them with a reference test, showing high accuracy rates of 98.2% for IgG and 95.8% for IgM.
- * The findings suggest that dried blood samples are a practical and efficient alternative for screening in resource-limited settings, improving the management of toxoplasmosis in high-prevalence areas like Brazil.
