Abstract

Ingestion of tissue cysts in uncooked, infected meat and oocysts in food or water contaminated with cat feces are the 2 major routes for transmission of T gondii [1]. The survival of oocysts in the environment is covered by J.K. Frenkel in Chapter 1.2. This chapter covers formation, persistence, survival of tissue cysts in meat and the risk of acquiring T. gondii from ingesting infected meat.
