The aim of this study was to get a general idea of the antibody prevalence of toxoplasmosis within the different agegroups of the population of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. 4854 serums (collected between 1994 and 1996) from different institutions of the federal state were investigated with the "Toxo-Competitions Test LTXC)" at the Mini-Vidas divice (bio Merieux).
An antibody prevalence rate of 59% was found. As expected, with rising age a continuing increase was recognisable. The antibody prevalence rate with the male test persons amounted to 58.5%, with the female test persons to 59.3%, and within the pregnant women 63.2%.
Therefore 36.8% of pregnant women have got no toxoplasmosis antibodies, i.e. they are exposed to the danger of a primary infection. Within pregnant women aged between 20 and 40 an increase of antibody prevalence of 1% per year of age was recognisable. There was only a small share of pregnant women (10.5%), but they confirm the facts known from literature.
More than 1/3 of our test persons hadn't had toxoplasmosis antibodies. Therefore in order to reduce the danger of a primary infection in pregnant women a screening before pregnancy in recommendable.
本研究旨在了解梅克伦堡-前波美拉尼亚州不同年龄组人群弓形虫病抗体流行情况。使用Mini-Vidas仪器（生物梅里埃公司）的“弓形虫竞争试验LTXC”对该联邦州不同机构在1994年至1996年间收集的4854份血清进行检测。
抗体流行率为59%。正如预期的那样，随着年龄增长，流行率持续上升。男性检测者的抗体流行率为58.5%，女性检测者为59.3%，孕妇为63.2%。
因此，36.8%的孕妇没有弓形虫病抗体，即她们面临初次感染的风险。在20至40岁的孕妇中，可观察到抗体流行率每年增长1%。只有一小部分孕妇（10.5%），但她们证实了文献中的已知事实。
超过1/3的检测者没有弓形虫病抗体。因此，为降低孕妇初次感染的风险，建议在孕前进行筛查。
