TOXOPLASMOSIS VS TOXOCARIASIS: Protozoan Vs Roundworm Parasitic Infection

Hi DWC ~

Toxoplasmosis is a protozoan infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii. 

It's acquired via contact with infected cat feces.  At risk are pregnant women who transmit the infection to their newborn, causing congenital neurologic & ophthalmologic birth defects.  For details & symptoms:  http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1000028-overview 

Toxocariasis is a nematode infection caused by Toxocara canis/cati (Dog/Cat Roundworm).

It's acquired via ingestion of parasite eggs passed by infected dogs or cats.  The hatched larva migrate from the GI tract to the muscles, liver, lungs, eyes, or brain.  For details & symptoms:  http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/229855-overview

Both types of parasites require different drug treatments.

Have you had any tests?  Have you taken any meds or herbal remedies?

Also, please give details of your symptoms & anything unusual you've passed in your stools. 

This info will help forum members determine which type of infection you may have & appropriate drug treatment.
