With about one third of the world's population having been exposed to this extremely common parasite, see what all the rave is about. Toxoplasma gondii is another parasitic protozoan that is mainly transmitted through contaminated water/food and under cooked meat. This parasite is able to infect virtually all warm blooded animals. Symptoms that come from this parasite are mild and resemble symptoms that come from the flu. If you are a healthy adult, this parasite should have no adverse affects on your well being. However, infants, pregnant women, or those with AIDS or the HIV virus should be careful with Toxoplasma gondii because of its ability to lead to death from toxoplasmosis, an influenza-like disease. If your immune system is fully developed, go ahead and order Toxoplasma gondii and give it a try today!
Life Cycle
Unsporolated oocysts are transmitted through cat feces
Oocysts sporulate and infect intermediate hosts (plants, rodents, birds)
Oocysts transform into tachyzoites after ingestion
Tachyzoites develop into tissue cyst bradyzoites in neural & muscle tissue
Tachyzoites migrate to various human tissues
