Toxoplasmosis |
| Description |
Toxoplasma is an obligate intracellular organism that is a member of the class of protozoa called Sporozoa. It thus is a member of the same class as Babesia and Plasmodium species (discussed earlier). There is only one species-Toxoplasma gondii-and all strains appear antigenically similar. The name Toxoplasma gondii is derived from the crescent shape of the trophozoite form of the organism (from the Greek word toxon, meaning ‘‘bow'') and from the North American rodent ‘‘gondi,'' the animal in which it was first described (13,14,624). |
