etiology,
Toxoplama gondii
Species affected
humans and other warm-blooded animals, including birds
Transmission and pathogenesis
T. gondii is transmitted by consumption of infectious oocysts in cat feces, consumption of tissue cysts in infected meat, and by transplacental transfer from mother to fetus
Following consumption of uncooked meat containing tissue cysts (carnivores) or feed or drink contaminated with cat feces containing oocysts (all warm-blooded animals), T gondii initiates extra intestinal replication. Bradyzoites and sporozoites, respectively, are released and infect intestinal epithelium. After several rounds of epithelial replication, tachyzoites emerge and disseminate via the bloodstream and lymph. Tachyzoites infect tissues throughout the body and replicate intracellularly until the cells burst, causing tissue necrosis
Clinical signs
fever, diarrhea, cough, dyspnea, icterus, seizures, and death
