Review on the Current Trends of Toxoplasmosis Serodiagnosis in Humans

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Toxoplasmosis is a widely distributed zoonotic infection caused by the obligate intracellular apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. It is mainly transmitted through the ingestion of oocysts shed by an infected cat acting as its definitive host.
