Only felids shed fecal stages (oocysts) contaminating pastures, food, and water. Other warm-blooded vertebrates serve as paratenic hosts and are infected ingesting oocysts or other hosts containing tissue stages (bradyzoites). Pigs, sheep, goats, and chickens reared with access to oocyst contaminated soil produce the meats most likely to transmit the ...

Toxoplasma gondii catalase: are there peroxisomes in Toxoplasma?
Journal of Cell Science, 2000ABSTRACT The intracellular protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, like all members of the phylum Apicomplexa, is known to possess many organelles: in addition to mitochondria and the compartments of the secretory pathway, there is a reduced chloroplast (the apicoplast) and the phylumspecific components of the apical complex: dense ...

Biodiversity in Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
Studies on the extent and nature of genetic polymorphism in medically important protozoan parasites are important in order to understand epidemiological and biological aspects of parasitic infections. Genetic variations among Toxoplasma gondii isolates first were suggested by differences in pathogenicity in Swiss mice.

Detection of Toxoplasma gondii
2003Toxoplasma gondii is an important intracellular protozoan that is the causative agent of toxoplasmosis in humans and animals. Toxoplasmosis is a zoonosis and is normally caught by eating undercooked infected meat or by ingestion of oocysts excreted by its definitive host, the cat.

Endopolygenie bei Toxoplasma gondii
Zeitschrift f�r Parasitenkunde, 1971Die ungeschlechtliche Vermehrung von T. gondii in den Epithelzellen des Katzendarms setzt mit einer zweifachen Teilung des „Schizonten“-Zellkerns ein, ohne die Ausbildung der bei der Endodyogenie bekannten Organellen. Erst im vierkernigen Stadium beginnt, unter Erhaltung des Mutterkonoids, die Entwicklung von Merozoiten.

Toxoplasma gondii is an important zoonotic parasite with a worldwide distribution. Felids are the definitive hosts and, upon primary infection, they shed millions of oocysts into the environment. These oocysts are infectious to a wide range of warm-blooded animals, and these intermediate hosts develop tissue cysts.

Effect of Toxoplasma gondii on the Thymus
Nature, 1973IT has been shown1,2 that rabbits experimentally infected with a virulent strain of Toxoplasma develop a severe lymphocyto-paenia 3 d after infection and show marked changes in the thymus, chiefly by loss of cortical lymphocytes. In a study of congenital toxoplasmosis in mice, Beverley and Henry (ref. 3 and personal communication) observed depletion of

Immunology ofToxoplasma gondii
Immunological Reviews, 2011Summary: Toxoplasma gondiiis an obligate intracellular parasite. Following oral infection the parasite crosses the intestinal epithelial barrier to disseminate throughout the body and establish latent infection in central nervous tissues. The clinical presentation ranges from asymptomatic to severe neurological disorders in immunocompromised ...
