@article{Dubey2012ToxoplasmosisIH, title={Toxoplasmosis in humans and animals in Brazil: high prevalence, high burden of disease, and epidemiology.}, author={J. Dubey and E. Lago and S. Gennari and C. Su and J. Jones}, journal={Parasitology}, year={2012}, volume={139 11}, pages={ 1375-424 } }
Infections by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii are widely prevalent in humans and animals in Brazil. The burden of clinical toxoplasmosis in humans is considered to be very high.
