The Toxoplasma cysts can survive in the environment for a long time, contaminating fruit and vegetables, and cysts in meat remain infective as long as the meat is edible.
Ciste toksoplazme lahko preživijo v okolju dolgo časa, pri čemer kontaminirajo sadje in zelenjavo, ciste v mesu pa ostanejo infekciozne toliko časa, dokler je meso užitno.
