Toxoplasmosis is caused by a one-celled protozoan parasite known as Toxoplasma gondii. In the United States, it is estimated that approximately 30% of cats, the primary carriers, have been infected by T. gondii. Most humans contract toxoplasmosis by eating cyst-contaminated raw or undercooked meat, vegetables, or milk products or when they come into contact with the T. gondii eggs from cat feaces while cleaning a cat's litterbox, gardening, or playing in a sandbox. Approx 1 in 4 (more than 60 million) people in the USA are infected with the parasite, and in the UK between

Towards New Perspectives on Toxoplasma gondii reflects the range of research activities and knowledge on this significant pathogenic protozoan parasite. The book addresses important developments in Toxoplasma, and covers a variety of topics, including the development of schizont stages of T. gondii in the primary cell culture of feline enterocytes, the effects of toxoplasmosis on host behavior, personality, and cognition, the three nutrient uptake portals in Toxoplasma tachyzoites, neuro-immunopathology, and the significant role that laboratories play in the diagnosis and prevention of Toxoplasma infection. This book will be an indispensable aid to many academics and scientists.

"Toxoplasma gondii is a globally spread protozoan parasite responsible for causing toxoplasmosis. Infection by T. gondii shows high seroprevalence in humans, especially in South America. Written by specialists, this book brings important contributions and information on parasite biology, including its life cycle, ultrastructural features of tachyzoite, bradyzoite and their main specific organelles, mechanisms of host cell invasion, parasite replication and epigenetics regulation. Moreover, the book will encompass mechanisms of pathogenesis and host immune response to the infection, including purinergic signaling, and mechanisms of immune evasion by the parasite. Finally, this book also addresses relevant aspects of disease, information about the current chemotherapy of toxoplasmosis and perspectives for a future chronic disease treatment, epidemiology, and methods for visualization of the parasite by optical and electron microscopy"--
