Health Topics A-Z Search 1Up Health Toxoplasmosis Information Toxoplasmosis Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors Definition : An infection with the protozoan intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors Toxoplasmosis is found in humans worldwide, and in many species of animals and birds. 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. Infants may show signs of central nervous system disorders, enlargement of the liver and spleen

No representa ningún peligro para la madre, de hecho, muchas veces se puede tener la infección y no percibir síntomas, como mucho, alguna sensación de cansancio, inapetencia o la aparición de ganglios en el cuello. Se puede prevenir en más de un 60% de las posibilidades. Bastará con extremar la higiene de las manos, después de la manipulación de carnes y otros alimentos, como las frutas y verduras. Es necesario tomar las carnes muy pasadas. Por esto un porcentaje muy alto de mujeres tiene anticuerpos, porque han tenido la infección. El problema de ésta enfermedad es durante el embarazo, porque el parásito puede atravesar la barrera placentaria y afectar al feto (problemas cerebrales con retraso mental). Esta afectación dependerá del momento del embarazo en que se contraiga la infección. Si es en las primeras semanas, periodo embriológico, los problemas son más graves. En el final del embarazo se puede tratar a la madre e indirectamente al hijo.

VI. Cats - Health: Toxoplasmosis INDEX If you're like many people, you are already immune to the parasite that causes toxoplasmosis. If you're a pregnant woman, however, or have a compromised immune system or share your home with young children, you'll need to be extra careful of this disease that can be passed on from cats to humans. Symptoms of toxoplasmosis include fever, shortness of breath and neurological problems such as seizures and incoordination. If a mother-to-be contracts the disease in her first trimester, it can produce cysts in the brain of the fetus. This can lead to developmental abnormalities or even miscarriage. The organism that causes toxoplasmosis is common in raw meat and gardening soil, and can also sometimes be found in cat feces. Felines most often become carriers of the disease by killing and eating live prey. This is another good reason to keep your pet indoors and away from wild animals.

Toxoplasmosis People can get toxoplasmosis by: 1) eating food, drinking water, or having contact with soil contaminated with tool from an infected cat, or 2) eating inadequately cooked meat that is contaminated with the parasite. Women who become infected during or just before pregnancy can pass the infection to their unborn infants. Most infected people have no symptoms and are never diagnosed. People with weakened immune systems can develop severe toxoplasmosis, which results in damage to the eye or the brain. Infants who are infected before birth can have serious mental or physical handicaps. Most people do not need to be treated unless they are pregnant or have a weakened immune system. Pregnant women, women who are planning to become pregnant, and persons with weakened immune systems should take precautions to avoid infection. What is toxoplasmosis? Toxoplasmosis is a common parasitic infection worldwide. People at risk for severe infection are pregnant women and persons with weakened immune systems.

Please note: The information provided here is meant to supplement that provided by your veterinarian. Nothing can replace a complete history and physical examination performed by your veterinarian. Toxoplasmosis Toxoplasmosis is a disease that can be picked up by handling contaminated raw meat, or the feces produced after ingestion of such meat. It takes between 36 and 48 hours for the eggs shed in stools to reach the infective stage, so if you remove stools from the litter box every day, the chances are slim that you could contract toxoplasmosis. (Nomenclature: Toxoplasma gondii is the organism, toxoplasmosis the disease, and Toxoplasma is a protozoan.) Most cats show no clinical signs of infection with Toxoplasma. Occasionally, however, lethargy, depression, loss of appetite, and fever are typical early nonspecific signs. Pneumonia, manifested by respiratory distress of gradually increasing severity, is the outstanding sign in many cats. Hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) may cause vomiting, diarrhea, prostration, and jaundice (yellowing of the mucous membranes). Toxoplasmosis can also affect the eyes and central nervous system what may be observed as blindness, incoordination, heightened sensitivity to touch, personality changes, circling, head pressing, twitching of the ears, difficulty in chewing and swallowing food, seizures, and loss of control over urination and defecation.

MSA, GPO Box 2462 ADELAIDE SA 5001 Ph (08) 8252 7800 Toxoplasmosis Toxoplasmosis is a severe, world-wide generalised or central nervous system disease by the Protozoan toxoplasma gondii . This protozoan parasite is found in man and many species of birds and animals. T gondii has recently been shown to be a coccidian that exists in 3 infectious forms: 1. The tachyzoite (or endozoite), the proliferative form, is present in large numbers in blood, excreta and secretions in acute disseminated infections; 2. The cystozite (or bradyzoite), the resting form, is present within encapsulated cysts, particularly in muscle and nerve tissue, in chronic infections; 3. The oocyst is the form passed only in the faeces of cats following their infection by the coccidian intestinal epithelial stages characteristic only of feline toxoplasmosis. The coccidian stages in cats appear to be crucial to the maintenance of T. gondii in nature. However the relative importance of several sources of infection for man remains to be determined, including, particularly, accidental ingestion of oocysts denied from cat faeces or the ingestion of encapsulated cysts in raw or under-cooked meat. In human terms the clinical patterns of Toxoplasmosis can be divided into four patterns; acquired

I. ETIOLOGY ABSTRACT Toxoplasmosis refers to the clinical/or pathological evidence of disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii. This disease is found in 90% of children and adults and is asymptomatic except in the immunodeficient HIV patient. Toxoplasmosis usually attacks the brain, lungs, and eyes and is most commonly found causing Toxoplasma Encephalitis (TE). For more information, click here II. EPIDEMIOLOGY ABSTRACT Infection of humans and domestic animals with Toxoplasma gondii is found worldwide. Cats are considered of primary importance in the transmission of TE; other forms of transmission include ingestion of undercooked and infected beef and pork. In the United States, Toxoplasmosis seroposivity among HIV patients varies from 10-45%. For more information click here III. DIAGNOSIS ABSTRACT The CDC reports the following as presumptive criteria for a toxoplasma diagnosis: (1) recent onset of focal neurologic abnormalities or a reduction in the level of consciousness, (2) evidence of a lesion by brain imaging (by CT scan or MRI) and (3) serum antibodies for toxoplasmosis.

Science College, Vet Dept Toxoplasmosis by Lady Midnight 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. Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by a microscopic parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. It is not a new disease, having first been discovered in 1908. Since its discovery, toxoplasmosis has been found in virtually all warm-blooded animals including most pets, livestock, and human beings. Nearly one-third of all adults in the U.S. and in Europe have antibodies to Toxoplasma, which means they have been exposed to this parasite. 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. Some 80 percent of domestic cats are exposed to toxoplasmosis during their lives, usually as a result of eating a mouse, mole, squirrel or other infected prey. Some cats show no symptoms; others get diarrhea or become listless. Occasionally, pneumonia or eye inflammation occurs. Indoor cats in rodent-free homes may never be exposed.

I am concerned because I am pregnant and have read that feline litter box duties could lead to toxoplasmosis. No one seems to know if this could be contracted by handling rabbit litter boxes. So far my husband has been really wonderful about cleaning the litter boxes but I would really like to know if this is something I should be concerned with. I was hoping you might have some insight on this. Cynthia Alex Salt Lake City, UT According to Carolyn Harvey, DVM, toxoplasmosis is adapted to the cat, and only reproduces in the cat. Occasionally, a rabbit or a dog can become infected, but if they do, it's a non-patent infection, meaning that it doesn't reproduce and a rabbit (or dog) cannot shed it.

Toxoplasmosis Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii . It affects almost all animals including humans. Toxoplasmosis is not dangerous to the normal healthy adult. Many people do not even know that they have the infection as they might only have mild flu-like symptoms or no symptoms at all. Toxoplasmosis is dangerous to the unborn child where the infection can affect the baby's eyes and brain. It is very uncommon and the records show only fifteen recorded babies affected per year. (compared with 800,000 births) in the United Kingdom Cats and undercooked meat are thought to be the principal courses of human infection. You should take the following precautions during your pregnancy. Never empty cat litter trays-if you really cannot avoid doing so wear rubber gloves, and wash your hands afterwards. Disinfect cat litter trays daily for 5 minutes with boiling water. Always wear gloves for gardening and wash your hands after touching soil. Always wash fruit and vegetables thoroughly to ensure there is no soil contamination. Never eat raw or undercooked meat-be particularly careful of lamb and pork, but even hamburgers can contain the parasite. Always wash your hands after handling raw meat. Wash kitchen surfaces and utensils after contact with raw meat.

TOXOPLASMOSIS DESCRIPTION: (see also Chorioretinitis TREATMENT: Treatment is first with anti-infective drugs and then with corticosteroids if the initial treatment is ineffective. Prognosis for cure is fair to poor; visual impairment depends on the location of the healed scars (i.e., macula or periphery). Educational adaptations include the use of magnification. IMPLICATIONS: Pregnant women who own cats should refrain from handling the litter during pregnancy, since the fetus could become infected in utero. All cat owners should exercise caution in disposing of cat litter; scrupulous personal cleanliness is essential. Children who have cats as pets should be encouraged to wash their hands often, especially after caring for their cats.

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Toxoplasmosis Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources 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 a 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
