Plants, no. However they can be contaminated through irrigation. Cattle: very unlikely, as they tend to be less affected by this disease than other livestock like sheep and pigs. However calves and adults with a weak immune system will become sick with bovine toxoplasmosis. Such animals (including other livestock infected with this parasitic disease) become carriers and can affect humans if humans eat raw or undercooked meat that contains these parasitic cysts in the meat itself.
