As Our Esteemed Moderator mentioned, there have been a few cases of
toxoplasmosis reported in ferrets.  Here's an excerpt from the FAQ,
section 11.2:
 
| Dr. Bruce Williams, DVM, says:
|
|      Toxoplasmosis has been reported twice in ferrets.  [...]
|
|      Here's the bottom line.  Because of the devastating effects that
|      Toxoplasma can have on a developing human fetus in the first
|      trimester - you don't want to take ANY chance at all on exposing
|      [a pregnant woman] to Toxo.  So [someone in the household who
|      isn't pregnant] inherits all litterbox duties for the next
|      nine months.  Actually, she probably stands a higher chance of
|      getting Toxo from poorly cooked beef.  The doctor says - if she's
|      a carnivore - better get used to well-done steaks....
