ABSTRACT

Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii, with the domestic cat as the intermediate host. In Latin America, some statistical data on the seroprevalence of this disease have been reported. However, the Venezuelan health system lacks a coherent and up-to-date research repository on this subject. The objective of this article was to analyze the situation of toxoplasmosis within the socio-health context in Venezuela. The results reveal limited information on this disease, with only four studies reported: one in eastern, two central, and western Venezuela, which served as the reference for this document. Other studies dated back to 1984, but no relevant information was found for the rest of the country, although some information was presented by physicians treating the symptoms in obstetric consultations. The conclusion is that there is a need to create interdisciplinary research networks to address this disease. Furthermore, a review of the medical records of various health centers is necessary to obtain accurate information on registered cases.
