INCIDENCE OF TOXOPLASMOSIS: REVIEW
Keywords:
Toxoplasmosis, Toxoplasma gondii, IraqAbstract
This parasite (Toxoplasma gondii) is one of the important parasites spread in many countries and at different rates. This parasite spreads at high rates, especially in areas that lack a good and clean environment that prevents the spread of this parasite. The second important reason for the spread of this parasite is the presence of direct contact between the final host, which is cats, and the intermediate host, which is humans and some farm animals. This study was conducted for the importance of this parasite and the knowledge of its spread in Iraq and some countries.
