what is the life cycle of toxoplasma gondii

cat expells sporulated oocyst into environment
taken in by intermediate host and the sporozoites released invade the gut cells, forming tachzyzoites
tachyzoites multiply rapidly and are able to be transported all over the body
after immune response is triggered, cysts are formed, leaving IH infected for life
FH is infected by ingesting tissue infected with cysts
cysts release bradyzoites that invade the gut epithelial cells, undergoing asexual repro
sexual phase then occurs and oocysts are then formed to later be shed in feces
