MedlinePlus: Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the parasite toxoplasma gondii. more than 60 million people in the u.s. have the parasite. most of them don't get sick. but the parasite causes serious problems for some people. these include people with weak immune systems and babies whose mothers become infected for the first time during pregnancy. problems can include damage to the brain, eyes and other organs.
you can get toxoplasmosis from
waste from an infected cat
eating contaminated meat that is raw or not well cooked
using utensils or cutting boards after they've had contact with raw meat
drinking infected water
receiving an infected organ transplant or blood transfusion
most people with toxoplasmosis don't need treatment. there are drugs to treat it for pregnant women and people with weak immune systems.

MalaCards: Toxoplasmosis, also known as multisystemic disseminated toxoplasmosis, is related to congenital toxoplasmosis and headache. An important gene associated with Toxoplasmosis is CD40LG (CD40 ligand), and among its related pathways are Apoptosis and survival Anti-apoptotic action of membrane-bound ESR1 and Development_Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor activation of ERK. The drugs sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim and the compounds rhc 80267 and obaa have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, and related mouse phenotypes are respiratory system and endocrine/exocrine gland. Disease Ontology: A coccidiosis that has material basis in protozoan toxoplasma gondii. the parasite effects most genera of warm-blooded animals, including humans, but the primary host is the felid (cat) family. animals are infected by eating infected meat, by ingestion of feces of a cat that has itself recently been infected, or transmission by mother to fetus. the symptoms include bilateral, nontender cervical or axillary lymphadenopathy, fever, malaise, myalgia, hepatosplenomegaly, anemia and leukopenia.6 CDC: Toxoplasmosis is considered to be a leading cause of death attributed to foodborne illness in the United States. More than 60 million men, women, and children in the U.S. carry the Toxoplasma parasite, but very few have symptoms because the immune system usually keeps the parasite from causing illness. Toxoplasmosis is considered one of the Neglected Parasitic Infections, a group of five parasitic diseases that have been targeted by CDC for public health action.2 Wikipedia: Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii.
