Answer:

feces of cats and raw venison, lamb and pork, as well as in contaminated water

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a disease of parasitic origin that occurs after ingestion of cysts of the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. It is a zoonotic disease, that is, it is transmitted to man by different species of contaminated mammals and birds.

The definitive hosts are the domestic and wild cat, and the intermediate hosts are warm-blooded animals (mammals and birds).

T. gondii is distributed throughout the world; Between 3 and 70% of human beings who reach adulthood experience a toxoplasma infection.
