This parasite usually applies cat animal as main host ( definitive hospes) beside possible other animals also is infection like bird and fish.

Symptom that is weight possibly happened like damage of brain and eye most off all happened at patient lacking of body endurance like HIV/AIDS.
At Baby Contained
Important was if this parasite groans pregnant mother. Research result done in Indonesia, found more than positive 80% to toxoplasma at baby placenta experiencing miscarriage. Result that is enough menunjukan relation between infection toxoplasma and miscarriage .
Foetus attacked by toxoplasma possibility will experience miscarriage, death foetus, growth of foetus is pursued, baby borns premature, hidrosefalus, mikro-oftalmia ( small optometry), choriorenitis ( chafes at eye retina), blindness, deaf, brain lesion, and damage of wide organ. Light weight of symptom depended from when pregnancy mother is infection. If happened at first trisemester, possibility that of 15-20% , at trisemester its(the both ways 25-30%, while at third trisemester possibility that of 60% baby will be infection in parallel with its(the mother.
However increasingly young pregnancy age, increasingly symptom weight which will be experienced by foetus because in the early of pregnancy happened forming of organ continued with maturation of organ until the baby borns. But 90% from baby infection not to generate something symptom ( asimptomatic) at the time of the baby is borne. New symptom arisen a few months even year after baby is borne.
