Q

What is the Pathology for Toxoplasma gondii?

A

Usually asymptomatic in cats and humans
-Acute Toxopasmosis- Fever, headaches, usually stopped by immune system.

  • Sabacute Toxoplasmosis- Occures when immunity develops slowly, Destroys liver, heart,brain and eyes
  • Chronic Toxoplasmosis - Cyst forms after immunity established, when immune system is weak break out and cause relapses of symptoms
  • Congenital Toxoplasmosis- Stay away from cats if pregnant or trying to get pregnant, one of leading cause of spontaneous abortion
