Background:
Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that causes significant disease in humans. Toxoplasmosis is normally asymptomatic, unless associated with congenital transmission, or in immunocompromised people. Congenital transmission generally occurs... Read More about High frequency detection of Toxoplasma gondii DNA in human neonatal tissue from Libya.

The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii is prevalent worldwide and can infect a remarkably wide range of hosts despite
felids being the only definitive host. As cats play a major role in transmission to secondary mammalian hosts, the interaction
