Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which can be transmitted to humans through ingestion of contaminated food, water, or soil, or through contact with infected animals. Congenital toxoplasmosis occurs when a pregnant woman becomes infected with T. gondii and passes the infection to her fetus.Congenital toxoplasmosis can lead to serious health problems for the fetus, including neurological and visual impairment, hearing loss, and developmental delays. One of the major environmental and health risks for congenital toxoplasmosis is exposure to contaminated soil or water. T. gondii is commonly found in the feces of infected cats and can contaminate soil and water through runoff or direct deposition.The book includes data from a study conducted in the Federal District of Brazil, which aimed to estimate the prevalence of seropositivity for toxoplasmosis among pregnant women. The study found that the prevalence of seropositivity for toxoplasmosis was highest among pregnant women living in areas with poor sanitation, such as those with inadequate water supply or sewage systems.

No ano de 2015, ocorreu um aumento alarmante de crianças com microcefalia. A epidemia pelo vírus Zika que atingiu o Brasil provocou várias mortes de crianças nos primórdios de suas vidas e deixou centenas de crianças gravemente incapacitadas. Apesar de originalmente descrito na decada de 50 na Africa, essa foi a primeira vez no mundo que o virus Zika foi associado a` microcefalia congenita. Essas crianças, alem da microcefalia com grave acometimento do sistema nervoso central (SNC), apresentaram envolvimento de outros orgos, o que foi denominado de sindrome da Zika congenita. O Ministerio da Saude declarou uma emergencia de saude publica nacional em novembro de 2015 e, em fevereiro de 2016, a Organizaço Mundial da Saude declarou a infecço pelo Zika virus (ZIKV), uma emergencia de saude publica de preocupaço internacional. O surto terminou no Brasil em 2017, sem que medidas eficazes de saude publica para seu controle tenham sido tomadas. Neste livro descrevo a historia, todo caminho percorrido pelo virus, as consequencias nas crianças e o que deve ser feito para evitar uma nova epidemia.
