TOXOPLASMOSIS IN FELIS CATUS: ETIOLOGY, EPIDEMIOLOGY AND DISEASE

TOXOPLASMOSIS IN FELIS CATUS: ETIOLOGY, EPIDEMIOLOGY AND DISEASE

Toxoplasma gondii is the causal agent of toxoplasmosis, a re-emerging and cosmopolitan zoonosis, affecting intermediate and definitive hosts. The domestic cat is the definitive host closer to the human that develops the sexual form of the parasite and it is the producer of oocysts. For this, its presence in the environment is essential in the biologic cycle of T. gondii. Research in cats worldwide is limited principally due by the complexity in the sampling; however, those studies have developed knowledge about taxonomy, morphology, biologic cycle and molecular biology, as well as its geographic distribution, hosts, resistance to environment, transmission patterns, contamination sources and rick factors associated to infection in this species and in other vulnerable species. Besides, studies have been conducted for the understanding of the pathogeny, clinical signs, anatomo-pathological lesions, immunity, diagnosis, and control of this biologic agent.

Toxoplasma gondii es el agente causal de la toxoplasmosis, zoonosis reemergente y cosmopolita, que afecta a hospederos intermediarios y definitivos. El gato doméstico es el hospedero definitivo más cercano al ser humano que desarrolla la forma sexuada del parásito y es el productor de ooquistes, de allí que su presencia es esencial en el ciclo biológico de T. gondii. Las investigaciones en el gato a nivel mundial son escasas debido principalmente a la complejidad en la toma de muestra; sin embargo, se dispone de conocimientos sobre la taxonomía, morfología, ciclo biológico y biología molecular, así como, sobre la distribución geográfica, sus hospederos, la resistencia al ambiente, las vías de transmisión, fuentes de contaminación y factores de riesgo asociados con la infección dentro de esta especie y hacia otras vulnerables. Además, se han realizado trabajos para comprender la patogenia, manifestaciones clínicas, lesiones anatomopatológicas, inmunidad, diagnóstico y control de este agente biológico.
