Introduction: The primary infection by Toxoplasma gondii in pregnancy leads to a 10%--100% risk of fetal transmission. In 2006, the15th Health Division of the state of Paraná created the Network for Gestational and Congenital Toxoplasmosis Control with reference to the University Hospital of the city of Maringá.
Objective: to evaluate the measures taken by primary care professionals regarding the control of gestational and ocular toxoplasmosis.
Method: Twenty percent of the 39 Basic Health Units in four municipalities belonging to the 15th Health Division of Paraná. The professionals who attended the pregnant women were interviewed through structured questionnaires. Data were collected on the measures carried out with non-reactive pregnant women, with acute suspicion, and ocular toxoplasmosis.
Results: Most professionals were unaware of this control network, of the modeof infection, and the toxoplasmosis prophylactic measures.
Conclusion: This shows the importance of professional updating, and perseverance in continuing education
