''Toxoplasma gondii'' is an intracellular protozoan parasite of warm-blooded mammals and birds, including man.
    
Human exposure to toxoplasmosis is common wherever cats are found; 20 to 40% of healthy adults in the US are seropositive. The risk of developing disease is very low except for a fetus infected in utero and people who are or become immunocompromised
