The amoebic parasite toxoplasma gondii causes toxoplasmosis, which is frequently linked to eating raw or undercooked meat, dirt, or food contaminated by cat faeces. More than 6 billion people are T. gondii carriers. Toxoplasmosis is a disease that can cause a variety of complications, including ocular toxoplasmosis, neonatal toxoplasmosis, and cerebral toxoplasmosis. The goal of this research was to determine how commonplace toxoplasmosis is among Abbottabad's pregnant women. Immuno-chromatography was used to examine toxo-IgG and IgM levels in the blood of 500 pregnant women. From a total of 500 samples analysed, only 44 (8.8%) were found to have toxoplasmosis when employing the ICT method. We now know that 15 (64%) of the 44 confirmed cases are chronic and 29 (36%) are acute (36 percent). In-depth analysis by the research team revealed that a sizable proportion of chronic patients show no deterioration over time. There is an extreme demand for high-quality, large-scale research in this area. Fetal damage or loss of pregnancy may occur if the mother contracts toxoplasmosis during pregnancy. Understanding the symptoms of a T.gondii infection is essential for preventing the spread of the parasite to pregnant women.
