摘要: Toxoplasma gondii is an obligatory intracellular parasite of mammals, including humans and domestic animals. The infection with this has severe clinical consequences, as it causes abortion or fetal abnormalities, encephalitis in immunocompromised humans, ocular toxoplasmosis chorioretinitis, may contribute to Alzheimer disease. Therefore, efficient control T. by prevention the transmission strongly recommended. Pork considered important source toxoplasmosis, due frequent consumption raw undercooked porcine meat products, a high susceptibility pigs infection, because numerous risk factors, contributing prevalence pig population. cellular humoral immune responses, such IgM, IgG, IFN‐gamma, interleukin‐10 ‐12 production, associated acute chronic pigs, do not prevent development tissue cysts, which persist lifelong within intermediate host. population might be useful indication meat.
