Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite. The primary host for Toxoplasma gondii is the common housecat. Cat feces contain oocysts that become infectious after 1-5 days.
In one survey, lamb and pork were infected with bradyzoites in almost 1/4 of samples, and up to 25% of pigs in the midwestern US are seropositive for T. gondii.
