Infection by Toxoplasma gondii is called toxoplasmosis. This condition is a worldwide zoonosis. The organism infects herbivorous, omnivorous, and carnivorous animals, including all orders of mammals. Serologic surveys indicate that 22.5% of healthy adults in the United States have been infected with Toxoplasma. In some parts of Brazil, seroprevalence approaches 100%. |
