Hi, I’m not sure what erlicchie is, but here is some information on toxoplasmosis: Toxoplasma gondii is found throughout North America and can infect almost any warm-blooded animal or bird, and humans. Infection with T. gondii, a condition called toxoplasmosis, can be very serious in humans. T. gondii can be passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus and cause abortions and congenital defects. In children and adults, it can cause other signs, and is sometimes fatal. It can cause severe disease in persons with poor immune systems such as those undergoing chemotherapy or infected with human immunodeficiency virus (the virus that causes AIDS). The cases of toxoplasmosis in the United States had been declining to 350 cases annually in the early 1990’s. With the AIDS epidemic, the number of cases has increased. Surveys in the United States suggest 30% of cats and 25-50% of people have been infected (most clear the infection with no or few symptoms).
