The disease caused by the Toxoplasma gondii parasite is termed as
toxoplasmosis. A few of its symptoms are body aches, headache, fever and
fatigue. Transmission of this parasite can occur through exposure to
infected cat feces, consumption of contaminated meat which has not been
cooked adequately, and from a mother to her child during pregnancy. The
risk factors for toxoplasmosis are taking immunosuppressant medications,
chemotherapy and HIV/AIDS. Most healthy people do not require serious
medical help, but people with a weakened immune system are at risk of
suffering from severe complications such as seizures and encephalitis.
This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around
prospective developments with respect to the research on toxoplasmosis.
It presents studies on this disease in the most comprehensible and easy
to understand language. This book includes contributions of experts and
scientists which will provide innovative insights into this field.
