Toxoplasmosis is caused by the protozoan organism, Toxoplasma gondii. Infection with this organism primarily results from contact with infected cats and from ingestion of improperly cooked meat. Most adults with toxoplasmosis are asymptomatic. When symptoms are present, they typically resemble a mononucleosis or flulike illness.

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1986
Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that infects most species of warm-blooded animals, including human beings. Infection in cats is of particular interest because Felidae (domestic and wild) are the only known definitive hosts for T. gondii and thus are the main reservoirs of infection. Clinical and public health aspects of T.

Toxoplasmosis infection occurs worldwide wherever cats are present. However, toxoplasmosis, the disease, is relatively rare. In this article, the author examines the cycle of transmission, addresses the problem of congenital transmission, discusses the symptomatology and pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment, and prevention and control of the disease.

Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite with worldwide distribution that infects up to one-third of the world’s population. Human infection is acquired through ingestion in water or food of oocysts shed by cats, or by ingestion of bradyzoites released from cysts contained in uncooked or undercooked meat (e.g. sheep, swine, cattle).

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2005
Toxoplasmosis is the most common cause of posterior uveitis in immunocompetent subjects. The infection can be congenital or acquired. Ocular symptoms are variable according to the age of the subject. For instance, young children present with reduced visual acuity, strabismus, nystagmus, and leucocoria, while teenagers and adults complain of decreased ...

Pediatrics In Review, 1991
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite capable of infecting humans and a variety of other warm-blooded animals. The organism is distributed widely in nature and may infect as many as 1 of 3 persons worldwide. Most Toxoplasma infections are either asymptomatic or otherwise benign; notable exceptions include the infections of the ...

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1987
Infection with T. gondii can have devastating effects on the development of the unborn human fetus. As veterinarians or physicians, we should be able to accurately assess the true risk of exposure of a person to meat-borne tissue cysts or to oocysts based on the age, health, roaming and feeding habits of their cats, and the occupational or recreational

Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that infects up to a third of the world's population. Infection is mainly acquired by ingestion of food or water that is contaminated with oocysts shed by cats or by eating undercooked or raw meat containing tissue cysts.
