What is Toxoplasma gondii?

Toxoplasma gondii is an opportunistic pathogen. The immune status of the body, especially the cellular immune status, is closely related to the development and outcome of the infection. Humans have strong natural immunity. Toxoplasma gondii in the immune-sufficient populations are mostly invisible infections, causing parasitic immunity, and can cause infection activation in people with low immune function.

Pathogenic mechanism

In addition to the invasion of Toxoplasma gondii, in addition to its virulence, the host's immune status also plays an important role. Therefore, the severity of Toxoplasmosis depends on the outcome of the interaction between the parasite and the host

Toxoplasma gondii infection

Toxoplasma infection is mainly caused by ingestion of food contaminated by feline and canine body fluids or feces. Toxoplasma infections are ultimately ingested through food. There is also blood infection. There are four main proven and more likely routes of transmission:
1. Eating raw meat or undercooked meat, especially pork, lamb and venison, and eating raw beef is also considered to be the most important channel for Toxoplasma infection in urban residents;
2. After transporting or touching raw meat or raw internal organs, put it in your mouth without cleaning your hands;
3. Contact cat feces or objects in contact with cat feces;
4. Live with worms and dogs.

Toxoplasma gondii life cycle

The life cycle of Toxoplasma gondii can be summarized into two components: the sexual part that occurs only in cats (cats, wildcats or domestic cats), and almost all warm-blooded animals (including humans, cats, and birds). Because of Toxoplasma gondii Sexual reproduction is only possible in cats, so cats are the authoritative host for Toxoplasma gondii. All other hosts, of which asexual reproduction only, are intermediate hosts.

The Toxoplasmosis in animals

Toxoplasmosis in suis

Toxoplasmosis suis is a protozoan disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii, also known as toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease with a wide range of host species and high infection rates in both humans and animals.

Toxoplasmosis suis diagnosis

Directly examine the lungs, livers, and lymph nodes for smears, and check with Gibbs fluid; or take the body fluids and cerebrospinal fluid of the affected animals for smears; or lyse the lymph nodes and add physiological saline to filter them. Take the sediment for microscopic examination of smear staining. This method is simple, but there are false negatives, and further diagnosis must be performed on negative pigs.

Toxoplasmosis in cats

Cats are usually infected invisibly after infection with Toxoplasma. When young cats or the body is under stress, they can have an acute attack. It showed elevated body temperature, chancre, dyspnea and pneumonia, and some showed neurological symptoms. Adult cats are mostly carriers, and postmortem dissection shows inflammatory necrotic changes in the lungs, liver, spleen, lymph nodes, myocardium, and brain. Necrosis was seen under the microscope, and there were polymorphic trophozoites around, and some had resting cysts in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscle.

Toxoplasmosis in dogs

There are two types of toxoplasmosis: 1 Acute type: dogs can have fever, body temperature above 40 degrees, apathy, lethargy, difficulty breathing, anorexia, or vomiting and diarrhea. 2 Chronic: Dogs show weight loss, anemia, loss of appetite, and sometimes neurological symptoms. Prevention and treatment: Pay attention to the sanitary environment and diet of dogs.

How to preven Toxoplasmosis disease?

1. Check before and during pregnancy.
2. Domestic cats are best fed with dry feed and cooked food. Regularly clean the cat's nest, but pregnant women should not participate in cleaning.
3. Both low temperature (-13 ℃) and high temperature (67 ℃) can kill Toxoplasma gondii in meat.
4. Wash hands, cutting boards, knives, etc., and items that have come into contact with raw meat with soap and water.
5. Wash vegetables thoroughly before eating.
6. Improve the medical personnel and animal husbandry and veterinary personnel's understanding of the disease and master the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Investigate the infection of people and animals, especially livestock, and related factors in order to develop practical control measures.
7. Do a good job of changing two pipes and five parts of water and feces. Pay special attention to prevent cat feces that may have toxoplasma oocysts from contaminating water sources, food and feed.
