Toxoplasmosis

« Back to Glossary Index

Toxoplasmosis is a disease that results from infection with the Toxoplasma gondii parasite, one of the world’s most common parasites. Infection usually occurs by eating undercooked contaminated meat, exposure from infected cat feces, or mother-to-child transmission during pregnancy. The presence of IgG antibodies may indicate a recent or past infection.
