TOXO IgG IgM Test Cassette
Toxoplasmosis is caused by infection with Toxoplasma gondii, an
eucaryotic Pathogen - belongs to the group of sporozoes. The
obligatory intracellular living parasite is spread worldwide. Typical
for sporocytes is the "flip-flop" between sexual (which only takes
place in cats, the final host) and asexual reproduction.The Infection
is often highest in areas of the world that have hot, humid climates
and lower altitudes. The mean source of infection is direct contact
with cat feces or from eating undercooked meats. Toxoplasmosis is
not passed from person-to-person, except in instances of
mother-to-child (congenital) transmission and blood transfusion or
organ transplantation. Toxoplasmosis generally presents with mild
symptoms in immunocompetent individuals, but women newly
infected with Toxoplasma during pregnancy and anyone with a
compromised immune system should be aware that toxoplasmosis
can have severe consequences for them. Acute toxoplasmosis in
pregnant women can result in miscarriage, poor growth, early
delivery or stillbirth. IgG and IgM antibodies to Toxoplasma can be
detected with 2-3 weeks after exposure. IgG remains positive, but
the antibody level drops overtime.
The Toxoplasma IgG/IgM Rapid Test is designed to detect and
differentiate IgG and IgM antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in
human serum or plasma.It has 3 pre-coated lines, "G"(Toxoplasma
IgG Test Line), "M" (Toxoplasma IgM Test Line) and "C" (Control
Line) on the surface of the membrane. All three lines in result
window are not visible before applying any samples. The "Control
Line" is used for procedural control. Control line should always
appear if the test procedure is performed properly and the test
reagents of control line are working. A purple "G" and "M" lines
will be visible in the result window if there are enough IgG and/or
IgM antibodies toToxoplasma in the sample. If IgG and/or IgM
antibodies to Toxoplasma are not present in the sample, there is no
color appearance in "G" and/or "M".
