A Systematic Review of Toxoplasma gondii Genotypes and Feline: Geographical Distribution Trends (original) (raw)
2019, Transboundary and Emerging Diseases
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite that is widely prevalent in human beings and animals worldwide. The life cycle of this parasite is complex, involving an asexual stage in broad range of intermediate hosts and a sexual stage occurring only within the intestinal epithelial cells of the definitive hosts. Felids play a critical role in the epidemiology of T. gondii infection because they are the only hosts that can directly shed resistant oocysts in the environment (Edwards & Dubey, 2013).
