Food safety concerns highlight toxoplasmosis, a parasitic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii. Cats are primary reservoirs, transmitting infection through oocysts, impacting human and animal health.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Parasitology
  • Foodborne Illnesses
  • One Health

Background:

  • Food safety concerns have increased focus on food-borne parasitic diseases.
  • Toxoplasmosis, caused by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, is prevalent in humans and food animals.
  • Cats are the primary reservoirs, excreting environmentally resistant oocysts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the prevalence and transmission routes of Toxoplasma gondii.
  • To highlight the impact of toxoplasmosis on human and animal health.
  • To outline strategies for controlling toxoplasmosis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on Toxoplasma gondii prevalence and transmission.
  • Analysis of clinical significance in humans and livestock.

  • Summary of control strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • Toxoplasma gondii infection is widespread globally in humans and food animals.
    • Transmission occurs via undercooked meat, congenital routes, and cat feces.
    • Severe infections impact congenitally infected children and cause significant livestock losses.

    Conclusions:

    • Toxoplasmosis poses a significant public health and economic threat.
    • Control strategies are essential to mitigate disease spread and impact.
    • Integrated approaches are needed for effective toxoplasmosis management.
