That applies to the food-borne infectious pathway which involves most but not all fatalities--about 325 a year in the US.  Not the only pathway.  Humans can be blinded, permanently sickened or killed by ingesting or inhaling as few as one oocyst directly from the environment, wherein once shed with infected cat's feces, they persist and remain infectious for at least 4.5 years.  Also from contaminated drinking water.

Other pathways are intrauterine and breast-milk from infected mothers & drinking unpasteurized cow or goat milk.  Recent research has found oocysts in fruit/vegetable tissues.  The parasite reproduces EXCLUSIVELY in feline digestive tracts, and enters both freshwater and marine environments in runoff from contaminated soil (and thence into marine organisms).  It survives in seawater.

Neurological changes in infected rodents sexually attract them to the scent of cat urine, completing the life-cycle when cats predate them.  Works that way in chimps vis-a-vis leopards, too.
