    Document: Toxoplasmosis is one of the most common parasitic zoonoses, caused by the obligate intracellular protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, which can infect almost all warmblooded animals, including birds [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] . It has been estimated that approximately one third of the world population and 7.88% of population in China have been infected [2, 6, 7] . Toxoplasmosis is generally benign or associated with mild nonspecific clinical symptoms in most patients. However, blindness and mental retardation can be caused in congenitally infected children, and T. gondii infection is ranked as a leading cause of death in immuno-compromised individuals, especially in acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome patients [2, 8] .
