Toxoplasmosis in HIV/AIDS patients: a current situation.
TLDR
The seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis among 505 of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS patients was 226, and it was found that a CD4 count of less than 100 cells/cumm was significantly associated with development of TE (P <0.05).

Knowledge and practice on Toxoplasma infection in pregnant women from Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand
TLDR

Review on human toxoplasmosis in Malaysia: the past, present and prospective future.
TLDR
The route of transmission, such as contact with a cat, consumption of undercooked meat and blood transfusion were shown to have no significant association with Toxoplasma seropositivity and the immune status (CD4 cell count < 200 cell/mm3) was strongly associated with toxoplasmic encephalitis.
