In this work, the protozoan of Toxoplasma gondii (Nicolle & Manceaux, 1908)
(Apicomplexa:Sarcocystidae) is reviewed. Toxoplasma gondii is intracellular parasite belonging to the
phylum of apicomplexa. It is a common protozoan of warm-blooded animals, and it distributes
worldwide, causing infection in eyes’ retina, brain and other regions of the body. It has been reported that
toxoplasmosis is one of neglected disease by CDC. The first discovery of this intracellular parasite was in
1908, and later in 1957 was detected causing abortion in animal. In 1970, it was the first time for
recognizing the life cycle of it, they were found that cats (felids in general) are the final host, and the
stage of oocyst is occurring in the stool of infected cats. For prevention, T.gondii can be prevented by
hygiene, and it considers the only way preventive measure because vaccination technology is not
discovered yet for toxoplasmosis prevention in human.
