Abstract

The article offers information on the Toxoplasma gondii and Toxocara Species in the U.S. It mentions Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite and Toxocara is an intestinal nematode, both share ingestion of contaminated soil as means of exposure in humans; and also mentions the results suggest that exposure to both Toxoplasma gondii and Toxocara is common in the United States and could be explained through a common route of exposure of ingestion of contaminated soil.
