Description

Gain a deep understanding of Toxoplasma gondii, the one-celled protozoan parasite responsible for toxoplasmosis. This Academic Press publication provides essential perspectives and methods regarding this significant organism. In the United States alone, it is estimated that approximately 30% of cats, which serve as the primary carriers, are infected by T. gondii. The impact on human health is significant, with approximately 1 in 4 people (more than 60 million) in the USA infected. In the UK, infection rates are estimated between 0.5 and 1%. This book addresses the various ways humans contract the parasite, including the consumption of cyst-contaminated raw or undercooked meat, vegetables, or milk products. It also covers risks associated with contact with T. gondii eggs from cat feces through activities like cleaning litterboxes, gardening, or playing in sandboxes. This text serves as a vital resource for understanding the transmission and biology of this model apicomplexan.
