Toxoplasmosis:
Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic infection caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, a primary parasite affecting humans and many animals. In all infectious families, the infection is transformed from acute to chronic, and the parasite is constantly prepared to resume its activity whenever it has the opportunity to do so (a serious problem for AIDS patients).
Cats play a pivotal role in the life cycle of this parasite and its survival in nature, as it represents the only final host and within it occurs sexual mating to produce infectious capsules (infectious stage capable of causing the disease).
Clinical symptoms in cats:
The parasite in cats can infect any member of the body, so the clinical symptoms are different. Common symptoms include:
• Unknown body temperature rise.
• Retinal inflammation accompanied by corneal deposits and retinal detachment may occur. This eye shape of the disease can be observed in other diseases.
• encephalitis and the appearance of some neurological symptoms.
• Muscle weakness.
• Pneumonia and liver infections.
• Most of the babies that are infected by the mother during pregnancy through the placenta within the uterus die within 24 hours of birth, which is known as fading kitten syndrome.
• It is observed that the incidence of cats with toxoplasmosis is common in cats positive for measles virus, but it is not necessary that all cats infected with measles be infected with toxoplasmosis.
Clinical symptoms in dogs:
Clinically, this disease is less common in dogs than cats, and when infected, the symptoms are as follows:
• Rapid acute all-out symptoms of a particular killer in the respiratory and digestive system.
Meningitis and the brain.
• Muscle weakness.
• The eye shape can occur but less than cats.
