Congenital transmission can occur and leads to congenital toxoplasmosis, which may result in foetal or neonatal death, or severe malformations. In this study, we aimed to determine the seroprevalence and associated factors among pregnant women in a rural setting of Burkina Faso. We conducted a cross-sectional study from December 2020 to March 2021 in the Nanoro health district area. Women attending antenatal care for the first time at the selected health centers were enrolled in the study. For each participant, socio-demographic and clinical data were collected through a questionnaire. In addition, venous blood was drawn for the detection and avidity determination of IgG antibodies to <i>T. gondii</i> by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with seropositivity. Out of 416 participants, 37.3% were positive for specific anti-<i>T. gondii</i> IgG antibodies and only two of 149 women with interpretable results (1.3%) had low avidity IgG antibodies suggestive of recent primary infection. Younger age (16-18 years) was significantly associated with seronegativity (OR = 0.48, 95% CI:0.27-0.86, <i>p</i> = 0.013), while multipara (OR = 2.20, 95% CI:1.37-3.76, p value = 0.001) and multigravida (OR = 2.27, 95% CI:1.37-3.76, <i>p</i> = 0.001) were significantly more likely seropositive.

Additionally, the remarkable longevity of schistosomes-spanning years to decades-complicates the evaluation of treatment outcomes.

Blood samples, along with clinical data and general information, were gathered and examined from 305 dogs, of which 210 were males and 95 were females. Numerous breeds made up this sample, including the local breed, German shepherd, pitbul, foxhound, among others.

Anti-<i>Leishmania</i> antibodies were detected (95% CI 15.21-24.13%) of dogs of which 6.48% were clinically asymptomatic. Factors such as age, breed, and presence of clinical signs of leishmaniasis were found to significantly impact the prevalence of <i>Leishmania</i> infection, while gender did not show a significant association. The highest rates of infection were found in dogs aged 4-6 years (33.33%) and over 6 years (34.62%) (<i>p</i> < 0.001). In relation to breed, local dogs showed a significantly lower infection rate compared to other breeds (<i>p</i> < 0.01).
