Which one or more of the following terms describe(s) Toxoplasma gondii?
Answer: B
Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite; it is the only term the key accepts in this multiple-select question.
T. gondii is a protozoan of the phylum Apicomplexa, related to the malaria parasite. It is an obligate intracellular parasite: it can multiply only inside host cells. Cats are its definitive hosts, where sexual reproduction takes place, while humans and many other warm-blooded animals act as intermediate hosts, infected through oocysts or tissue cysts in undercooked meat.
It is a eukaryotic cell with a nucleus and organelles, so it is not a virus or a bacterium, and it is a protozoan rather than a fungus.
