==Description==

Toxoplasmosis is caused by a parasitic organism called Toxoplasma gondii, a protozoan. It can infect most animals and birds, including people, and is found throughout the world. Members of the cat family are important in the spread of toxoplasmosis, as they shed the oocysts (eggs) of the organism in their faeces for a period following infection. The organism is an important cause of abortion and the birth of stillborn lambs in sheep and occasionally in goats. Infection with toxoplasma may cause problems for pregnant women and for people whose immune system is adversely affected for another reason.

Toxoplasmosis is the disease caused by ''Toxoplasma gondii'', a protozoan parasite. ''T. gondii'' can infect all mammals including man and is a significant cause of abortion in sheep and goats. Toxoplasmosis does not seem to cause disease in cattle.
