How many people who are pregnant or have become pregnant have endured the pain of giving away their cats that they have kept for many years? Many elders in the family are worried that pregnant women will be infected with Toxoplasma gondii, and they have bitterly persuaded them to abandon their cats.
Although the cat is indeed the ultimate host of Toxoplasma gondii, it is also necessary to understand the infection path of Toxoplasma gondii, so the black pot must not be thrown to the cat, which is also too wrong.
What is Toxoplasma gondii?
Full name: Toxoplasma gondii. It is a zoonotic single-celled parasite. Toxoplasma gondii was first discovered in 1980 by French scholars in the spleen monocytes of rigid comb-toed rats.
It is an opportunistic pathogenic protozoa that does not show clinical symptoms after parasitic Toxoplasma gondii under normal immune function of the host body.
Toxoplasma gondii is found in almost all mammals and birds around the world, among which mammals such as humans, dogs, cattle, and sheep are their intermediate hosts.
The final host is a cat, the worm body in the cat body to develop into an egg sac, through the feces excreted outside, at this time the cat feces is not infectious, only the oocyst in the feces after 2-4 days of development is infectious.
Why do cats and dogs always give Toxoplasma gondii infections a "back pot"?
Dogs that are the intermediate hosts of Toxoplasma gondii, if unfortunately infected with Toxoplasma gondii, it will only exist in the muscles and blood of the dog, so as long as you do not eat dog meat, it will have no effect at all.
Even cats that are the ultimate hosts of Toxoplasma gondii are infected, and only their feces are infectious when they are infected, and they must be 2-4 days old to be infectious.
So! If you are unfortunate enough to come into contact with an infectious cat, you may indeed be infected, and! Cats can only have the opportunity to excrete feces containing eggs after their initial infection with Toxoplasma gondii, and only once in a lifetime.
How hard it is to infect Toxoplasma gondii
Let's make a hypothesis! From raising a cat to toxoplasmosis infection requires a few steps, first!
Step 1: You have to keep a cat.
Step 2: You take the cat out into the wild, and the cat unfortunately eats an infected bird.
Step 3: Your cat pulls out the cat that has been infected the only time in its life.
Step 4: When the cat is at home for more than two days (fresh cat is not infectious, and the egg sac needs to develop for 2-4 days to be contagious)
Step 5: At this time, you happen to be pregnant and find this lump of cats that are already infectious.
Step 6: It just so happened that the shovel was missing, so I simply picked up the cat with my unenserved hand and threw it into the trash.
Step 7: Shovel the shit! You happen to eat without washing your hands, and you may be infected with Toxoplasma gondii.
A survey study abroad showed that of the four million babies born each year, only 1200 babies were infected with Toxoplasma gondii and caused the disease, and the probability of infection was 0.0003%.
furthermore! Other routes of transmission of Toxoplasma gondii are
Wild grass, half-cooked meat, unpasteurized milk, unwashed melons, fruits and vegetables can become the transmission route of Toxoplasma gondii, mainly because "disease from the mouth", so even if you do not keep cats, there is no good food and diet, you may also be infected with Toxoplasma gondii.
According to one survey, in some Western countries that regularly eat raw meat, the proportion of toxoplasmosis infections is as high as 90%, while in China, the proportion of infections is less than 10%.
What should I do if I am infected with Toxoplasma gondii?
