Toxoplasmosis in humans may occur from contact with infected animals, because this disease affects many species of domesticated and wild mammals and birds. But the breeding of cysts sexually transmitted can occur only animals belonging to the cat family. So, the cat is able within two weeks of the disease to provide up to two billion cysts that can live in the environment for up to two years. In the case of asexual reproduction of resistant forms of the parasite are formed. So, to get toxoplasmosis when you can:
