The animal that contracts toxoplasmosis disease is a cat of any kind.

Toxoplasmosis occurs from eating improperly cooked lamb, mutton, pork, goat or beef, or from drinking unpasteurized milk contaminated with Toxoplasma Gondi. Cooking meat (inner temperature about 70°C or 160°F) or freezing it (about -18°C or 0°F) should destroy the parasite.

Signs of toxoplasmosis can be a slight temperature on its own or accompanied by a sore throat with swollen lymph nodes, usually felt in the neck and under the armpits, headache, muscular pains and a feeling of exhaustion.sore throat
