Background: Congenital toxoplasmosis is a treatable, preventable disease, but untreated causes death, prematurity, loss of sight, cognition and motor function, and substantial costs worldwide.
Objectives: We asked whether high performance of an Immunochromatographic-test (ICT) could enable accurate, rapid diagnosis/treatment, establishing new, improved care-paradigms at point-of-care and clinical laboratory.
Methods: Data were obtained in 12 studies/analyses addressing: 1-feasibility/efficacy; 2-false-positives; 3-acceptability; 4-pink/black-line/all studies; 5-time/cost; 6-Quick-Information/Limit-of-detection; 7, 8-acute;-chronic; 9-epidemiology; 10-ADBio; 11,12-Commentary/Cases/Chronology.

Unlabelled: is a highly prevalent pathogen causing zoonotic infections with significant public health implications. Yet, our understanding of long-term consequences, associated risk factors, and the potential role of co-infections is still limited. Seroepidemiological studies are a valuable approach to address open questions and enhance our insights into across human populations.

Methods/findings: In our ongoing USA feasibility/efficacy clinical trial, data collated with other ongoing and earlier published results proved high performance of an Immunochromatographic-test(ICT) that enables accurate, rapid diagnosis/treatment, establishing new paradigms for care. Overall results from patient blood and/or serum samples tested with ICT compared with gold-standard-predicate-test results found ICT performance for 4606 sera/1876 blood, 99.

Objective: European hares () are among the most important animals that are connected with humans in many countries and natural life. Hares are important for public health, since they carry many zoonotic diseases, such as and . The study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of and and the potential zoonotic risk posed by hares that live in provinces of Turkey.
