Toxoplasmosis is an infectious illness that is brought about by a parasite known as Toxoplasma gondii. Humans can become infected with this parasite by consuming food or water that has been contaminated, or through exposure to the feces of infected cats. As a very prevalent illness, it is assumed that toxoplasmosis affects about 25% of the world's population. The following is highly dependent upon various regions of the world. The majority of infections do not require treatment, but in some cases, as we'll see below, treatment is required.
