Pig parasite research. Microbiologist examining pig tissue samples for the presence of Toxoplasma gondii parasites. T. gondii is a species of parasitic protozoan that can be carried by all known mammals. It causes toxoplasmosis, a usually minor and self-limiting disease. It can, however, have serious or even fatal effects on an unborn foetus if the mother contracts toxoplasmosis during pregnancy.
