Toxoplasmosis
by Gary Pfalzbot
About the Author

Toxoplasmosis: The protozoon T. gondii is found in cats and, according to serologic surveys, also in birds and other domesticated species including sheep, pigs, goats, and horses. The primary source of infection for animals is feed contaminated with feces of cats and possibly with rodent tissues.

Cats are an important source of infection for humans; however, some human infections may be due to the handling or consumption of raw meat. Pregnant women may miscarry or give birth prematurely, and infants often get central nervous system disorders and ocular disease.
