title = "Toxoplasma gondii – an important foodborne parasite, also in Denmark",
abstract = "In Europe, Toxoplasma gondii has been ranked as the second most important foodborne parasite [1]. The protozoan parasite is prevalent worldwide and has been found in a wide range of warm-blooded animals. Only felids can serve as definitive hosts and shed T. gondii oocysts in their feces. In all other infected hosts, the parasite lives within tissue cysts localized in various organs and can be transmitted if the host or its tissues are eaten. In most host species, the majority of T. gondii infections are subclinical. However, the parasite can cause clinical disease, toxoplasmosis, in both humans and animals, and it causes a substantial disease burden [2].",
