Cats are 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.

   toxoplasmosis is an infection that passes from animals to humans, sometimes without causing any symptoms. Learn more about this infection in this article

   Extractions: You've probably heard about the infection toxoplasmosis in relation to avoiding it during pregnancy by taking precautions with certain foods and the cat's litter box. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Preventing (CDC), some 60 million people in the United States could have toxoplasmosis. Many of them may not even know it because it can cause an infection that either has no symptoms or symptoms that are common to other illnesses. So what is toxoplasmosis, exactly? It's an infection caused by a microscopic parasite that can live inside the cells of humans and animals, especially cats and farm animals. How Is It Spread?

   Extractions: The symptoms associated with ocular toxoplasmosis include unilateral, mild ocular pain, blurred vision and new onset of floating spots. Patients often describe their vision as hazy. Clinical findings may include granulomatous iritis, vitritis, optic disc swelling, neuroretinitis, vasculitis and retinal vein occlusion in the vicinity of the inflammation, in the actively involved eye. Funduscopically, active toxoplasmosis presents with white-yellow, choreoretinal lesions and vitreous cells. There may be old, inactive lesions in the fellow eye. Toxoplasmosis can produce cystoid macular edema and choroidal neovascularization. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Toxoplasmosis is a disease provoked by the obligate intracellular protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. It is found in a variety of mammal and bird hosts. The most common intermediate host is the cat. It is one of the most frequent causes of retinochoroiditis in humans, with more than 60 percent of the United States population and up to 75 percent of the world's general population possessing some seropositive findings. The systemic symptoms found in congenital toxoplasmosis consist of convulsions, calcification of the arterioles and choreoretinitis. In adults, toxoplasmosis is often contracted without sickness. A small percentage of individuals encounter self-limiting, flu-like symptoms at the time of inoculation.

   Extractions: (TOX-o-plaz-MO-sis) Download PDF version formatted for print A single-celled parasite called Toxoplasma gondii causes a disease known as toxoplasmosis. While the parasite is found throughout the world, more than 60 million people in the United States may be infected with the Toxoplasma parasite. Of those who are infected, very few have symptoms because a healthy person's immune system usually keeps the parasite from causing illness. However, pregnant women and individuals who have compromised immune systems should be cautious; for them, a Toxoplasma infection could cause serious health problems. A Toxoplasma infection occurs by: Accidentally swallowing cat feces from a Toxoplasma -infected cat that is shedding the organism in its feces. This might happen if you were to accidentally touch your hands to your mouth after gardening, cleaning a cat's litter box, or touching anything that has come into contact with cat feces. Eating contaminated raw or partly cooked meat, especially pork, lamb, or venison; by touching your hands to your mouth after handling undercooked meat. Contaminating food with knives, utensils, cutting boards and other foods that have had contact with raw meat.
