The disease is a generalized infection that may be without symptoms, or a mild illness causing lymph node swelling, or a syndrome similar to infectious mononucleosis. The disease has been found in most warm blooded animals including pets, livestock, and humans. For most people toxoplasmosis is a benign illness but it can be life threatening to the immunocompromised or result in severe complications for infected fetuses. How is toxoplasmosis spread?

The facts about... Toxoplasmosis What is toxoplasmosis? Toxoplasmosis is a disease which occurs world-wide in both humans and a wide range of animals. It is caused by infection with a single celled parasite different from bacteria and viruses called Toxoplasma gondii which was discovered in 1908 in the gondi, a small rat-like animal from North Africa. Although many people are infected, most of them never show any signs of disease. Infection is most hazardous in persons whose resistance to infection is low such as organ transplant recipients, AIDS patients and unborn children. The parasite spreads to humans in undercooked or raw meat and in soil or vegetables contaminated with infected cat faeces or cat litter. Although Toxoplasma gondii is commonly found in many animals, as far as is known, it is only in the cat gut that the male and female parasites come together to produce one of the infective forms. If these are swallowed by a suitable host then infection may follow. How common is toxoplasmosis?

Now that it's getting sunny, we've been letting them explore the backyard a bit, but don't want them to stay outdoors (I am pregnant, and would feel safer keeping them away from other cats and 'diseases' until after the baby is born). do you have any suggestions on the indoor/outdoor situation?

Toxoplasma gondii (toxoplasmosis) Toxoplasma gondii has very low host specificity, and it will probably infect almost any mammal. It has also been reported from birds, and has been found in virtually every country of the world. Like most of the Apicomplexa, Toxoplasma is an obligate intracellular parasite. Its life cycle includes two phases called the intestinal (or enteroepithelial) and extraintestinal phases. The intestinal phase occurs in cats only (wild as well as domesticated cats) and produces "oocysts." The extraintestinal phase occurs in all infected animals (including cats) and produces "tachyzoites" and, eventually, "bradyzoites" or "zoitocysts." The disease toxoplasmosis can be transmitted by ingestion of oocysts (in cat feces) or bradyzoites (in raw or undercooked meat) ( view a diagram of the life cycle ). Several of these life cycle stages are shown below. In most humans infected with Toxoplasma , the disease is asymptomatic. However, under some conditions, toxoplasmosis can cause serious pathology, including hepatitis, pneumonia, blindness, and severe neurological disorders. This is especially true in individuals whose immune systems are compromised (e.g., AIDS patients). Toxoplasmosis can also be transmitted transplacentally resulting in a spontaneous abortion, a still born, or a child that is severely handicapped mentally and/or physically.

In humans, it may affect many different organs of the body, causing many different types of clinical signs. The respiratory system is commonly involved and pneumonia may result. The most common finding is a mild, flu-like illness that lasts a few days. Most people recover uneventfully.

Is there a treatment for toxoplasmosis? What is toxoplasmosis? Toxoplasmosis is a common disease found in birds and mammals across North America. The infection is caused by a parasite called toxoplasma gondii. It affects ten to twenty out of every one hundred people in North America by the time they are adults. What are the symptoms of toxoplasmosis? Most people who are infected do not show any symptoms. A healthy person's immune system usually prevents the parasite from causing disease. Those who do get sick with a mild form of the illness usually have flu-like symptoms including fever, sore throat, sore muscles and tiredness. Glands in the neck, armpits or groin can become swollen, but they are usually not sore. In some cases, the infection can also cause blurred vision or loss of vision temporarily.

Identification Clinical features Toxoplasmosis infection is asymptomatic in 80% of people. The most common sign in symptomatic patients is enlarged lymph nodes, especially around the neck. The illness may mimic glandular fever with other symptoms of muscle pain, intermittent fever and malaise. Dormant infection persists for life and can reactivate in the immunosuppressed person. More serious disease can develop or reactivate in immunosuppressed patients with brain, heart or eye involvement, pneumonia and occasionally death. Cerebral toxoplasmosis or chorioretinitis are frequent complications of AIDS when the lymphocyte CD4 cell count drops below 100 / cu mm. Acute toxoplasmosis in pregnant women can affect the unborn child. In early pregnancy brain damage as well as liver, spleen and eye disorders may occur. Infection in late pregnancy may result in persistent eye infection through life. Toxoplasmosis acquired after birth usually results in no symptoms or only a mild illness.

The cat is the definitive host of the parasite. Human infection results from ingestion of contaminated soil, careless handling of cat litter, ingestion of raw or undercooked meat (lamb, pork, and beef), transmission from a mother to a fetus through the placenta (congenital infection), or by blood transfusion or solid organ transplantation. Over 80-90% of primary infections produce no symptoms. The incubation period for symptoms is 1 to 2 weeks. Congenital toxoplasmosis is caused by infection with Toxoplasma gondii in a pregnant woman, with up to 50% of such infections transmitted to the fetus. Signs of congenital infection may be present at birth or develop over the first few months of life.
