It is not advisable to keep cats during pregnancy because people are afraid of toxoplasmosis that occurs in cats. Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii. It is a common parasite. Cats are their main hosts and is a globally distributed zoonotic infectious disease.
Tropical gondii transmission methods and hazards
Tropical gondii can be transmitted through cat feces. If pregnant women accidentally get infected while cleaning cat sand, the toxoplasma pathogen can be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta. If you are infected with Toxoplasma gondii in the first 3 months of pregnancy, it may cause serious damage to the fetal central nervous system and eventually lead to fetal death. If infected with Toxoplasma gondii at 3 months of pregnancy, it may lead to hydrocephalus, mental retardation, psychomotor depression, blindness and cerebral calcification in the baby. However, infection with Toxoplasma gondii is most common at the end of pregnancy, which may lead to infant retinal choroiditis and other eye damage. Damage to the central nervous system and latent asymptomatic infections can eventually lead to the disease.
Testoplasma gondii detection item
Testoplasma gondii is the first letter T in TORCH related to eugenics and eugenics. TORCH is the abbreviation of the English name of a group of pathogenic microorganisms. T (Toxoplasma gondii, Toxo) represents Toxoplasma gondii, R (rubellavirus, RV) represents Rubella virus, C (cytomegalovirus, CMV) represents cytomegalovirus, H (herpes simplex virus, HSV) represents herpes simplex virus, and 0 (others) refers to other related viruses such as EB virus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and human parvovirus B19. Pregnant women who are infected with these pathogens in the early stage of pregnancy may cause premature birth, miscarriage, intrauterine developmental retardation, malformation, stillbirth and neonatal death.
Different and previous infections of Toxoplasma gondii, protective immunity can generally be produced. It also appears in the order of specific IgM first and then IgG antibodies. Specific IgG antibodies reach a peak 2 to 5 months after the onset of clinical symptoms. At the same time, with the progress of the immune response, the antibody affinity gradually increases. In recent infections, IgG antibody affinity is low, and in previous infections, IgG antibody affinity is high. Therefore, antibody affinity assays can distinguish between recent and previous infections.
