Toxoplasmosis poses a substantial risk as a globally prevalent foodborne zoonotic disease. This disease does not only impact public health, but also results in noteworthy economic losses for countries dependent on rural activities, particularly those associated to the livestock industry, particularly pronounced in sheep and goats, where reproductive failure is a prevailing consequence. With a history deeply rooted in sheep farming, Uruguay ranks as the fifth-largest global exporter of sheep meat and the third-largest exporter of combed wool.
