Educational Overview
Toxoplasmosis in Pets & Animals
Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by the microscopic parasite Toxoplasma gondii.
This parasite can affect many warm-blooded animals, including cats, dogs, livestock, wildlife, and humans.
Role of cats
Cats are the primary host of Toxoplasma gondii. The parasite completes its life cycle in the feline digestive system, and microscopic eggs (oocysts) may be shed in cat faeces for a short period, usually without the cat appearing unwell.
How animals may become infected
Animals may be exposed through:
-
Contact with contaminated soil or environments
-
Ingestion of raw or undercooked rotten meat
-
Hunting or consuming infected prey with this parasite
-
Exposure to contaminated water or surfaces
Signs in pets and animals
Many animals show no symptoms.
When illness does occur, it may include:
Symptoms are more likely in young animals, elderly animals, or those with weakened immune systems.
Immune system involvement
A healthy immune system often keeps the parasite in a dormant state. When immune function is compromised, toxoplasmosis may become acute or chronic, leading to inflammation and associated discomfort.
Monitoring and care
Toxoplasmosis varies widely in severity. Any animal showing neurological signs, breathing difficulty, or prolonged illness should be assessed by a veterinarian.
