Toxoplasmosis diagnostic techniques: Current developed methods and biosensors

Toxoplasma gondii infection is a usual worldwide issue since a broad range of vertebrate hosts are infected by this famous parasite. However fetuses and immuno-compromised patients infected by parasite is of specific concern. Developing the easy-to-use, accurate, real time and selective methods for detection of toxoplasma infection has a key role in the treatment and management of patients. In this regard, rapid detection methods with reproducible outcomes during short period are highly interested. In this review, we discussed the recent developed molecular-based laboratory methods for detecting of Toxoplasma infection and also rapid diagnostic methods, especially optic and electrochemical based biosensors with point-of-care features.
