THE TOXOPLASMOSIS TRUSTThe Toxoplasmosis Trust was founded in 1989 by a couple whose daughter was
born damaged by toxoplasmosis. Far from being a 'one-in-a-million' problem, the results of a survey carried
out by Dr Joynson, Director of the Public Health Laboratory Service in Swansea,
and responses to the Trust's publicity, show that toxoplasmosis is more common
than is generally appreciated by the majority of the medical profession in this
country. In the face of these facts, The Toxoplasmosis Trust was established with the
following aims and objectives: - to bring the disease to the public's attention
- to provide support for sufferers of toxoplasmosis and their families to
provide an up-to-date advice centre
- to promote the screening of women for toxoplasmosis
- to promote the development of research into all aspects of toxoplasmosis.
Our priority is to educate those most at risk from the disease, and to
inform and advise those who suffer from it, their families and helpers. The following fact sheets are currently available:- A general fact sheet on toxoplasmosis
- Advice for pregnant women
- Advice for pregnant women with a current infection
- A fact sheet for sufferers of congenital toxoplasmosis
- A fact sheet for sufferers of acquired toxoplasmosis
We also produce a newsletter twice a year. The Toxoplasmosis Trust would appreciate hearing of your experiences of this
disease or your knowledge of it. Assistance with fund-raising and with
promoting the message about toxoplasmosis would be invaluable. Please contact
the Trust's office if you can help.
