Our expectation is that this global initiative to address the significant health problems toxoplasmosis presents, as a focus of the programs being built, will have spillover benefit to promote well-being, improve water supply reducing other water borne diseases, in addition to preventing devastating consequences of this infection. The opportunity for spillover benefit for diagnosing and treating other diseases, and the opportunity for understanding basic, translational aspects of the biology, developing vaccines and better medicines are another substantial benefit of this global initiative. Bii, D, F.
