Product description

Toxoplasma gondii is a species of parasitic protozoa.
The definitive host of T. gondii is the cat, but the parasite can be carried by all known mammals. T. gondii is the causative agent of Toxoplasmosis, a disease that is usually minor and self-limiting but that can have serious or even fatal effects on a fetus whose mother first contracts the disease during pregnancy, or on an immuno-compromised human or cat.
