Toxoplasmosis is caused by the globally distributed protozoan parasite (phylum Apicomplexa); the disease can be clinically important for almost all homeothermic animals, including birds and humans. Toxoplasmosis course involves general clinical signs, such as fever, anorexia, or dyspnea, and more specific signs with neural, respiratory, cutaneous, or ocular involvement. Because of the wide range of clinical signs, the diagnosis in domestic and pet animals can be complicated. Hence, this review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of some scarcely discussed aspects of toxoplasmosis, such as ocular and cutaneous manifestations, congenital infections, influence of genotype on clinical toxoplasmosis, and recent findings regarding differential diagnosis. This review could be of special interest to clinicians and researchers.
弓形虫病由全球分布的原生动物寄生虫（顶复门）引起；该疾病对几乎所有恒温动物，包括鸟类和人类，在临床上都可能具有重要意义。弓形虫病的病程涉及一般临床症状，如发热、厌食或呼吸困难，以及涉及神经、呼吸、皮肤或眼部的更具体症状。由于临床症状范围广泛，家畜和宠物的诊断可能会很复杂。因此，本综述旨在对弓形虫病一些很少被讨论的方面进行全面分析，如眼部和皮肤表现、先天性感染、基因型对临床弓形虫病的影响以及关于鉴别诊断的最新发现。本综述可能会引起临床医生和研究人员的特别兴趣。
