Toxoplasma gondii is a common protozoan parasite of humans and vertebrae animals. In human hosts with a competent immune system, T, gondii infection generally develops into an asymptomatic chronic infection, with the orgaism sequestered in dormant “tissue cysts” often for the lifetime of the host. However in immunocompromised hosts, such as AIDS patients or organ transplant recipients receiving immunosuppressive therapy, infection can lead to toxoplasmosis. The disease is characterized by the proliferation of T. gondii tachyzoites which can damage the central nervous system, and can be fatal it untreated.
