Prevalencia de toxoplasma gondii en gatos domesticos

Abstract

After oral ingestion, Toxoplasma gondii crosses the intestinal epithelium, disseminates into the deep tissues, and traverses biological barriers such as the placenta and the blood-brain barrier to reach sites where it causes severe pathology. To examine the cellular basis of these processes, migration of T. gondii was studied in vitro using polarized host cell monolayers and extracellular matrix. Transmigration required active parasite motility and the highly virulent type I strains consistently exhibited a superior migratory capacity than the nonvirulent type II and type III strains. Type I strain parasites also demonstrated a greater capacity for transmigration across mouse intestine ex vivo, and directly penetrated into the lamina propria and vascular endothelium.El objetivo de este presente trabajo es determinar si los ooquistes de Toxoplasma gondii están presentes en gatos, tanto antes como después de que la familia haya aceptado mascotas como miembros que se consideran parte de ella, así como en perros. Son un componente crucial de su entorno cotidiano, de los cuidados que se emplean en la crianza de esta especie, como la alimentación, la salud y el bienestar
