Foodborne transmission of Toxoplasma gondii infection in the last decade. An overview.
Sonia Almería,Jitender P. Dubey +1 more
TL;DR: The knowledge of T. gondii infections in the last decade focusing on the foodborne transmission of this parasite is discussed, a parasite of high importance in animal health, causing reproductive failure, particularly in small ruminants, and clinical toxoplasmosis in many species.

TL;DR: This collection of papers highlights state-of-the-art knowledge, gaps in knowledge and future perspectives, as well as the benefits of current and proposed future activities to tackle toxoplasmosis within the One Health context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of the Host and Parasite Strain on the Immune Response During Toxoplasma Infection.
TL;DR: How the clinical outcome of toxoplasmosis varies between hosts and the role of different immune genes and parasite virulence factors are discussed, with a special emphasis on Toxoplasma-induced ileitis and encephalitis.

Sources of toxoplasma infection in pregnant women: European multicentre case-control study
Alasdair J. C. Cook,Ruth Gilbert,Wilma Buffolano,J Zufferey,Eskild Petersen,P A Jenum,Walter Foulon,Augusto E. Semprini,David Dunn +8 more
TL;DR: Inadequately cooked or cured meat is the main risk factor for infection with toxoplasma in all centres and preventive strategies should aim to reduce prevalence of infection in meat, improve labelling of meat according to farming and processing methods, and improve the quality and consistency of health information given to pregnant women.
