Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a human and veterinary infection that is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite. Plasmodium species and other members of the phylum Apicomplexa are also major pathogens. T. gondii, unlike most of these species, is easily manipulated genetically in the lab. Because of the great efficacy of transient and stable transfection, the availability of numerous cell markers and the relative simplicity with which the parasite may be investigated using modern microscopic methods, cell biology research is more easily undertaken in T. gondii. The tachyzoite, bradyzoite, and sporozoite are the 3 infective phases of T. gondii. In a complicated life cycle, several stages are intertwined. This review will highlight current understanding about the history, prevalence, and consequences of T. gondii infection in livestock and human, and the impacts of toxoplasmosis on cattle. It gives an indication of potential risk factors for T. gondii infection in cattle. To avoid T. gondii infection, adopt efficient biosecurity procedures on farms it is necessary to have knowledge about possible risk factors. Many studies have found cat-related risk factors, as well as those linked to possible infected feed, water, and contact to a potentially polluted location. There is a scarcity of published data on the expenses of T. gondii infections in animal productivity. Furthermore, the fact that this infection in animals can have an impact on human health should be addressed.
