Meet Toxoplasma gondii — a sneaky little parasite that lives in cat litter & causes toxoplasmosis infection.
For most people it's a non-event, but during pregnancy? It can seriously harm the fetus.
Wash your hands after every litter box change. If you are pregnant, do not eat undercooked meat.
The CNRS has opened a Junior Professor Chair (CPJ) call in Parasitology, and the Microbiologie Fondamentale et Pathogénicité (MFP, Bordeaux) laboratory is among the potential host institutions.
