Evidence that prevention, diagnosis and treatment of toxoplasmosis is beneficial developed as follows: anti-parasitic agents abrogate Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoite growth, preventing destruction of infected, cultured, mammalian cells and cure active infections in experimental animals, including primates. They treat active infections in persons who are immune-compromised, limit destruction of ret...

Toxoplasmosis, an infectious and inflammatory syndrome, is one of the most important foodborne diseases causing hospitalization and death in U.S.A. Toxoplasma infects nucleated cells including pancreatic and destroys the β cells. Toxoplasma is a Category B classified infection by CDC and NIH, which once infected the organisms reside in tissues in cysts form for the host's lifelong awaiting reac...

• Toxoplasmosis is one of the most globally significant zoonotic diseases. Public health measures are critical but not sufficient to control toxoplasmosis. Several new anti- Toxoplasma chemotherapeutic targets have been identified. New immunotherapies and vaccines for toxoplasmosis promising experimental. Nanotechnologies could improve diagnosis delivery agents. caused by gondii, an apicomplexa...

BACKGROUND Congenital toxoplasmosis is one cause of abortion. Infection can disrupt ovarian cycles and because toxoplasmosis is an infectious disease may have a similar effect on the ovaries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pathological changes in the ovaries due to toxoplasmosis. METHODS Tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii were harvested from peritoneal fluid of mice, experimen...

Introduction THE histopathological studies of Wilder (1952) on eyes removed on account of intractable iritis of unknown origin suggest that toxoplasmosis may have been the cause in some cases. Following on her work, requests were received for the serological investigation of patients suffering from chronic anterior uveitis of undetermined aetiology. Some of these gave weak positive results in t...

The susceptibility of budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) to graded doses of Toxoplasma gondii oocysts was studied. Sixteen budgerigars were divided into 4 groups (A-D) of 4 each. Birds in groups A-C were fed 100,000, 1,000, or 100 infective oocysts of the VEG strain of T. gondii, respectively. Budgerigars in group D were not fed oocysts and served as controls. All 4 birds in group A died (or...
