Extractions: Health Toxoplasmosis Toxoplasmosis is a microscopic parasite that can effect all mammals, including man, as well as birds, amphibians and other reptiles. Certain species appear to be more likely to transmit the disease (the pregnant sheep at the time of birth, is an example). Living in close proximity with our domestic pets leaves us a little more exposed than a non-pet owner. The cat is the definitive host. Between 30% and 60% of humans have evidence of contact with Toxoplasmosis.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> What is toxoplasmosis? Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by a single-celled parasite called Toxoplasma gondii How does a person acquire toxoplasmosis? The disease can be acquired by ingesting the Toxoplasma gondii organism in raw or undercooked infected meat or in raw milk. The organism is also shed in the feces of infected cats, and humans can become infected by the ingestion of food, water, or dust contaminated with cat feces. When the Toxoplasma gondii organism is shed in cat feces, it takes 1 to 5 days to become infective and then may remain infective for months to years. Transplacental infection (from pregnant mother to fetus) can also occur, and can have serious consequences for the pregnancy. What are the symptoms of toxoplasmosis? The infection usually causes no illness at all when acquired after birth. In that minority of individuals who do become ill, the most common signs are fever and swollen lymph nodes. Much less frequently seen manifestations are skin rash, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, pneumonia, and central nervous system problems. The illness tends to be more severe in persons with a deficient immune system. When a pregnant woman passes the infection to her fetus, serious abnormalities or death of the fetus may result.

Toxoplasmosis During Pregnancy
The risk of catching toxoplasmosis is fairly remote. What is toxoplasmosis? What are my chances of getting toxoplasmosis?
http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/pregnancy/pregcomplications/1461.html

Extractions: Toxoplasmosis is an infection that you can get from a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. Although the infection isn't dangerous for you, it can be harmful to your baby if you contract the disease during pregnancy (or even a couple of months before you conceive). The good news is that your chances of getting the infection during pregnancy and transmitting it to your baby are fairly low. For these reasons, you won't be routinely tested for toxoplasmosis antibodies unless you're HIV-positive.
Simple Facts Sheets: Toxopplasmosis

http://www.aegis.com/factshts/network/simple/toxo.html

Extractions: a Simple Facts Sheet from the AIDS Treatment Data Network Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by a parasite called toxoplasma gondii. A parasite is any organism that depends on another organism to survive. Many illnesses are caused by parasites. Up to 40% of people in the US have been exposed to the toxoplasma parasite. Common sources of infection are undercooked meat (particularly pork, lamb and venison), cats, birds and other animals. The parasite can also be found in soil contaminated by animal feces. Toxoplasmosis most often affects the brain. Less commonly, toxoplasmosis can affect the eyes, lungs and other parts of the body. A healthy immune system controls the parasite and prevents illness. A damaged immune system is less able to prevent illness. People with less than 100 T4 cells are at the greatest risk for toxoplasmosis. A test can tell if you have been infected with the toxoplasma parasite. The test looks for antibodies that your immune system makes to stop the parasite from causing illness. Both people who have been exposed and people who haven't can avoid the toxoplasma parasite by: making sure that any meat is cooked until it is no longer pink inside; wearing gloves while gardening or working with soil or sand; and wearing gloves and a mask when changing cat litter. You can also ask an HIV-negative friend or family member to change the litter. The litter should be changed daily. There is no need to give up a pet cat, but you should avoid adopting or handling stray cats. Pet cats should be fed canned or dried commercial cat foods or well cooked table food, not raw or undercooked meats. Hands and any surfaces that come into contact with raw meat or vegetables should be washed.

http://www.ridgeway-surgery.demon.co.uk/pregnant/toxoplas.htm

Extractions: 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 in cats and man. In the past, treatment for toxoplasmosis has been based on a combination of sulphadiazine and pyrimethamine.
http://www.fabcats.org/toxoplasmosis.html

Extractions: PKD scheme Toxoplasmosis in cats and man Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular coccidian parasite and is one of the most common parasitic diseases of animals and man. The definitive hosts for the parasite (the only animals in which the organism reproduces sexually) are members of the Felidae family (mainly domestic cats). T gondii is of primary importance since the range of intermediate hosts which can become infected encompasses virtually all warm-blooded animals, including man. Although infection with T gondii is extremely common, it is rarely a cause of significant disease in any species. Life cycle The life cycle of T gondii has been reviewed extensively. Cats usually become infected with T gondii Cats previously unexposed to T gondii usually begin shedding oocysts between 3 and 10 days after ingestion of infected tissue, and continue shedding for around 10-14 days, during which time many millions of oocysts may be produced. Once a cat has developed an immune response, further shedding of oocysts is extremely rare.
Toxoplasmosis

http://www.healthscout.com/ency/article/000637.htm

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: La toxoplasmosis es una infección transmitida por un parásito que, al ser contraída por una mujer embarazada, pone en peligro la salud de su futuro bebé. Afortunadamente una mujer embarazada puede tomar una serie de precauciones sencillas que pueden reducir las probabilidades de que se infecte. Toda mujer que puede quedar embarazada debe seguir estas precauciones, puesto que más de la mitad de todos los embarazos no son planificados. Un porcentaje muy alto de mujeres tiene anticuerpos porque han tenido ya la infección (muchas de ellas sin síntomas aparentes). El problema de esta enfermedad se plantea durante el embarazo, porque el parásito puede atravesar la barrera placentaria y afectar al feto, provocando graves problemas cerebrales.

http://www.paws.org/work/factsheet/catfactsheets/toxoplasmosis.html

Extractions: Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by a single-celled protozoan. Although the organism can be found in many species of mammals and birds, the cat is the only species that ingests this parasite (by eating raw meat or unwashed vegetables) and then spreads it via its feces. Toxoplasmosis is a concern because it can cause harm to the developing human fetus if the mother is exposed during pregnancy. Although many women are told by their physicians to avoid contact with cats during pregnancy, it is important to know that cats are not a high risk source of toxoplasmosis infection. Many more people are exposed to the parasite by ingesting raw or undercooked meats, and avoiding meat or cooking it thoroughly is a better way to avoid the disease than steering clear of felines. Common sense, hygiene, and a few extra precautions should be practiced by the pregnant woman who has a cat. Your veterinarian can perform a fecal analysis and blood test to determine if your cat is infected. Following the tests, keep the cat indoors; if you allow your cat to roam outdoors she could subsequently pick up the parasite from the bird and small animals she may prey upon (another good reason to keep her indoors!). Since it takes 1-5 days following defecation for the infectious stage of the parasite to develop, if you empty and disinfect the litter box daily you should not be exposed to infection. However, pregnant women should follow these precautions: Do not eat any raw or uncooked meat. Have your cat tested by your veterinarian to be sure she is free of infection. Then keep her indoors so that she won't eat infected meat. Also, do not feed your cat any raw meat. If you can, let someone else change the litter box daily. If this is not possible, wear rubber gloves and wash your hands thoroughly following the daily task. Avoid contact with cats other than your own and stay away from sand boxes and gardening soil in which fecal contamination may exist. Also discuss toxoplasmosis with your personal physician, who will probably recommend performing a titer, a simple blood test that indicates previous or existing exposure to toxoplasmosis.
