In this introductory paper some general opinions are presented regarding the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, toxoplasma infection and toxoplasmosis. The transmission of the parasite through oocysts and/or infected meat is discussed with regard to possible prevention. Old stories have been replaced by new facts in the epidemiology of toxoplasma infection. Veterinary measurements in the field of prevention are not likely to be accepted in the near future. It is stressed that laboratory diagnosticians should clearly differentiate between diagnostic support in suspected cases of clinical toxoplasmosis or screening for certain characteristics such as IgG antibodies to toxoplasma in a healthy population.
在这篇介绍性论文中，提出了一些关于寄生虫刚地弓形虫、弓形虫感染和弓形虫病的一般性观点。讨论了通过卵囊和/或受感染肉类传播寄生虫的情况以及可能的预防措施。在弓形虫感染的流行病学中，旧的说法已被新的事实所取代。在预防领域的兽医措施近期不太可能被接受。强调实验室诊断人员应明确区分在疑似临床弓形虫病病例中的诊断支持，或在健康人群中筛查某些特征，如针对弓形虫的IgG抗体。
