👉 The term "toxophilous" is used in medicine to describe a type of fungus that can cause serious infections in humans. These fungi are commonly known as "Toxoplasma gondii," and they are part of the family Plasmodium. They are typically found in soil, water, and other human host tissues where they can multiply and cause disease. Toxophilous fungi have a specialized cell wall that allows them to survive in this environment.
