Laboratory infection with Toxoplasma.
The main object of this paper is, by citing cases of laboratory infection with Toxoplasma, including one personal and hitherto unpublished, to point out the serious risks involved in working with this parasite and to stress the need for care. Another object is to see what can be learnt from these regrettable accidental human experiments about the signs and symptoms to be expected in toxoplasmosis.

Pregnant women who acquire infection from Toxoplasma gondii usually remain asymptomatic, although they can still transmit the infection to their fetuses with severe consequences. Transmission of T. gondii to the fetus can result in serious health problems, including mental retardation, seizures, blindness, and death.

BACKGROUND Toxoplasmosis is an important zoonotic parasitic disease worldwide. In immune competent individuals, Toxoplasma gondii preferentially infects tissues of central nervous systems, which might be an adding factor of certain psychiatric disorders. Congenital transmission of T. gondii during pregnancy has been regarded as a risk factor for the health of newborn infants. While in immune-co...
متن کاملToxoplasma gondii Migration within and Infection of Human Retina
Toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis is a common blinding retinal infection caused by the parasite, Toxoplasma gondii. Basic processes relating to establishment of infection in the human eye by T. gondii tachyzoites have not been investigated. To evaluate the ability of tachyzoites to navigate the human retina, we developed an ex vivo assay, in which a suspension containing 1.5 × 10(7) parasites repla...
متن کاملToxoplasma gondii infection in pregnancy.
Toxoplasmosis is caused by an intracellular protozoan, Toxoplasma gondii, which has a wide geographical distribution. The main infection routes are ingestion of cysts from raw or badly-cooked meat, ingestion of oocysts from substrates contaminated with the feces of infected felines and congenital transmission by tachyzoites. The congenital form results in a severe systemic disease, because if t...
