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.

When the pregnant cat owner first encounters this word while leafing through a book about mothers-to-be, she feels a stab in the pit of her stomach. Reading on only increases her feelings of dread: "A pregnant woman can get it from a cat... She can pass it on to her developing baby... It can cause birth defects." While there is a reason for concern, there's no need to panic, say veterinarians and gynecologists. "Doctors used to say the woman should get rid of the cat, but that's totally unnecessary," says Dr. Michael Davidson, associate professor of companion animal and special species medicine at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. The only way a woman can get toxoplasmosis from a cat is through direct contact with its feces, which most people try to avoid anyway! A few simple precautions are all that's needed to prevent exposure to this parasite during pregnancy.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Toxoplasmosis Definition Toxoplasmosis is an infectious disease caused by the one-celled protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii . Although most individuals do not experience any symptoms, the disease can be very serious, and even fatal, in individuals with weakened immune systems. Description Toxoplasmosis is caused by a one-celled protozoan parasite known as Toxoplasm gondii . Cats, the primary carriers of the organism, become infected by eating rodents and birds infected with the organism. Once ingested, the organism reproduces in the intestines of cats, producing millions of eggs, known as oocysts, which are excreted in cat feces daily for approximately two weeks. In the United States, it is estimated that approximately 30% of cats have been infected by T. gondii . Oocysts are not capable of producing infection until approximately 24 hours after being excreted, but they remain infective in water or moist soil for approximately one year. When cattle, sheep, or other livestock forage through areas with contaminated cat feces, these animals become carriers of the disease. Fruits and vegetables can also become contaminated when irrigated with untreated water that has been contaminated with cat feces. In humans and other animals, the organisms produce thick-walled, dormant structures, called cysts, in the muscle and other tissues of the body. Most humans contract toxoplasmosis by eating cyst-contaminated raw or undercooked meat, vegetables, or milk products. Humans can also become infected when they come into contact with the

Toxoplasmosis: Reducing the risk to humans and your cat An extremely common source of concern, anxiety and confusion among cat caretakers, especially in families with expectant mothers, is a disease known as Toxoplasmosis. The following is an attempt to describe this disease and its transmission, and in so doing hopefully allay unnecessary fears and the needless euthanasia of household cats due to misinformation and paranoia. Toxoplasma gondii is an organism whose only definitive hosts (i.e. the only species in which Toxoplasma can reproduce) are members of the cat family. Basically, the organism can produce oocysts in the cat, which are passed through the feces of infected cats for only a two-week period. If the environmental conditions are just right, these oocyts may survive and linger as a source of infection in soil or litter for about two years. If another animal or person ingests these oocysts while they are still infective, the transmission of Toxoplasmosis occurs. The organism cannot reproduce within any other animal besides the cat. In other animals and in humans, the organisms migrate to various organs (heart, brain, muscle, lymph nodes) and remain there in an inactive state. The only way for transmission of the organism in this state to occur is through the ingestion of the infected animal. This is, in fact, the most common way for Toxoplasmosis to be transmitted. The frequency and risk of human infection are most likely associated with ingestion of infected meat, not exposure to cats. It must be emphasized that although the possibility of transmission from humans to cats exists, there has never been a documented case of prenatal Toxoplasmosis infection in a human caused by a cat.

It is also commonly found in patients with AIDS. This shows an area of necrosis, infiltrated by reactive, rod shaped microglial cells. Such clusters of microglial cells are called microglial nodules . The oil immersion field (inset) demonstrates a cyst of Toxoplasma organisms containing multiple bradyzoites.
