Women risk passing toxoplasmosis to their infants if they get it for the first time around the time of pregnancy. I saw one article that suggested that being co-infected with hcv made mother to child vertical transmission of toxoplasmosis more of a risk.
Toxoplasmosis is also thought to have a role in the development of some mental disorders.
Toxoplasmosis can be spread via blood transfusions, sharing needles, etc.
