High Prevalence Of Hiv Around The Globe Is Boosting The Growth Of The Toxoplasmosis Treatment Drugs Market
In February 2020, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved an application for the first generic of Daraprim (pyrimethamine) tablets for the treatment of toxoplasmosis (an infection caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii) when used with a sulfonamide (a group of medicines used to treat bacterial infections).
The
rising prevalence of HIV around the globe is increasing the risk of toxoplasma
gonad infection. This is contributing to the growth of the toxoplasmosis treatment drugs market. According to the HIV.gov Mission & Team, there were
approximately 38 million people across the globe with HIV/AIDS in 2019. Of
these, 36.2 million were adults and 1.8 million were children (<15 years
old). Moreover, growing research and development activities by pharma companies
for toxoplasmosis are again fostering the growth of the toxoplasmosis treatment
drugs market. For example, in 2018, Vyera Pharmaceuticals LLC received the U.S.
Food Drug and Administration (FDA) approval to initiate Phase 1 study of the
VYR-006, which is a potent dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitor used for
the treatment of toxoplasmosis.
North
America is expected to dominate the global toxoplasmosis treatment drugs market
and this is attributed to the high prevalence of increasing prevalence of
toxoplasmosis infection in the region. According to the U.S. Department of
Health & Human Services, in the United States, it is estimated that 11% of
the population 6 years and older have been infected with Toxoplasma. More than
40 million men, women, and children in the U.S. carry the Toxoplasma parasite,
but very few have symptoms because the immune system usually keeps the parasite
from causing illness.
Toxoplasmosis
is an infectious disease caused by a strain of bacteria called Toxoplasma
gondii. The infection is caused by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. A
person with toxoplasmosis infection may have no noticeable symptoms or may
exhibit very mild or severe symptoms. Some people may not even show any
symptoms of the disease. It is usually acquired through direct contact with the
waste material or the secretions of the anus, mouth, or vagina of an infected
person. In such cases, there is a high risk of transmitting the infection to
the affected person's sexual partner. Common cold, fever, headache, muscle
aches, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea are some of the symptoms
of toxoplasmosis infection. Surgery, chemotherapy, antiviral drugs, and
antibiotics are some of the treatment options for toxoplasma
