Toxoplasmosis is caused by Toxoplasma gondii, which can be transmitted to humans through contact with infected cat feces. Maternal infection during pregnancy can lead to severe birth defects in the child, including brain damage and blindness. Rubella is spread via respiratory droplets, E. coli is typically transmitted through contaminated food/water, and cat scratch fever comes from cat scratches/bites, not feces.
