📋Overview
The infection is frequently asymptomatic in individuals with healthy immune systems, as the body's natural defenses often prevent the parasite from causing illness. However, the condition may lead to significant clinical concerns in specific populations, particularly those with weakened immune systems or during pregnancy.
In cases involving pregnancy, the parasite can potentially be transmitted to the fetus, a condition known as congenital toxoplasmosis. While many adults remain unaware of the infection, the parasite may persist in the body in an inactive state for long periods.
