Analysis reveals 36.7% positive Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibodies in cord blood, suggesting maternal risk factors influence infection rates.

36.7% of cord blood samples tested positive for toxoplasma gondii, indicating significant congenital infection.
Specific maternal risk factors like poor hygiene and undercooked meat consumption correlated with higher infection rates.
Low birth weight (1.6–2.5 kg) showed a 25% prevalence of infection, highlighting vulnerabilities in newborns.
Increased public health education is essential for reducing congenital transmission of toxoplasmosis.

Orevaoghene et al. (2025) studied this question.
