Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by a single-cell protozoan parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. It is one of the most common parasitic diseases and is found in nearly all warm-blooded animals (pets, livestock and birds). People can be infected with Toxoplasmagondii, too.

The life cycle of Toxoplasma gondii is complex and involves two types of host – definitive and intermediate. Of all animals susceptible to toxoplasmosis, only cats (both wild and domestic) are the definitivehost for Toxoplasma gondii. This means that they are the only animals that pass oocysts, the environmentally resistant stage of the parasite, in their stool to infect other animal species.Other animals, including humans, are intermediatehosts of Toxoplasmagondii. They can be infected, but they do not produce oocysts.Cats are most commonly infected with Toxoplasma gondii when they prey on infected mice, birds and other small animals. For indoor-only cats, the most likely source of infection is uncooked meat scraps or raw meat. When a cat ingests an infected prey (or other infected raw meat), the parasite is released into the cat’s digestive tract. The organisms then multiply in the wall of the small intestine and produce oocysts during the intra-intestinal infection cycle. These oocysts are then excreted in great numbers in the cat’s feces. Cats previously unexposed to Toxoplasmagondii will usually begin shedding oocysts between 3 and 10 days after ingestion of infected tissue, and continue shedding for around 10 to 14 days, during which time many millions of oocysts may be produced. Oocysts are very resistant and may survive in the environment for over a year.After the initial shedding period (about 2 weeks), most cats will not continue to pass oocysts in their feces. Cats that are shedding oocysts do not usually appear ill, and the oocysts are not visible to the naked eye.

During the intra-intestinal infection cycle in the cat, some Toxoplasmagondii organisms released from the ingested cysts penetrate more deeply into the wall of the intestine and multiply as tachyzoite forms. These forms then spread out from the intestine to other parts of the cat’s body, starting the extra-intestinal infection cycle. Eventually, the cat’s immune system restrains this stage of the organism, which then enters a dormant or “resting” stage by forming cysts in muscles and brain. These cysts contain bradyzoites, or slowly multiplying organisms.

Oocysts passed in a cat’s feces are not immediately infectious to other animals. They must first go through a process called sporulation, which takes 1 to 5 days depending on environmental conditions. Once sporulated, oocysts are infectious to cats, people, and other intermediate hosts. Intermediate hosts become infected through ingestion of sporulated oocysts, and this infection results in formation of tissue cysts in various tissues of the body. Tissue cysts remain in the intermediate host for life and are infectious to cats, people and other intermediate hosts if the cyst-containing tissue is eaten.

Most infected adult cats appear healthy. They become immune to the disease through exposure to the parasite. However,immunocompromised kittens and cats appear to have increased risk of illness. They may develop pneumonia, liver damage, and other health problems if infected. Signs of illness in cats include lethargy, loss of appetite, coughing, difficulty breathing, diarrhea, jaundice, blindness, eye problems, and other neurologic problems.

There is currently no vaccine available for Toxoplasma gondii, but treatment can be effective if the disease is diagnosed early. A blood test for Toxoplasma gondii antibodies can help in the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in sick cats. Most cats that have toxoplasmosis can recover with treatment. Treatment usually involves a course of antibiotic. Treatment must be started as soon as possible after the diagnosis is made, and continued for several days after disappearance of clinical signs.
