Causes

Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a solitary celled parasitic living being that can taint most creatures and birds. Since T. gondii irresistible creatures are discharged uniquely in feline dung, wild and homegrown felines are the parasite's definitive host.

In spite of the fact that you can't "get" toxoplasmosis from a contaminated kid or grown-up, you can become tainted if you:

Most pregnant ladies in the United States aren't regularly evaluated for toxoplasmosis, and most states don't evaluate babies for the contamination. Without explicit screening, toxoplasmosis is regularly hard to analyze in light of the fact that signs and side effects, when they happen, are like those of more normal ailments, like influenza and mononucleosis.
