Toxoplasmosis: a history of clinical observations
Louis M. Weiss,Jitender P. Dubey +1 more
TL;DR: This review examines the clinical manifestations of infection with T. gondii and the history of the discovery of these manifestations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The history of Toxoplasma gondii--the first 100 years.
TL;DR: The history of Toxoplasma gondii and toxoplasmosis is reviewed and it is found that felids are its definitive host and an environmentally resistant stage (oocyst) is excreted in feces of infected cats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Duration of immunity to shedding of Toxoplasma gondii oocysts by cats
TL;DR: To investigate if this immunity persists in cats for 6 yr, 12 4-6-mo-old cats without T. gondii antibodies were inoculated orally with tissue cysts of the ME-49 strain and the TS-2 strain and 9 cats re-shed T. Gondii oocysts Seventy-seven months after primary infection.

Direct agglutination test for diagnosis of Toxoplasma infection: method for increasing sensitivity and specificity.
G Desmonts,J S Remington +1 more
TL;DR: A method that increases the sensitivity and specificity of the direct agglutination (AG) test for diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii infection is described and would provide a simple and inexpensive means for the surveillance of seronegative women during pregnancy and for detection of seroconversions.
Journal Article
Persistence of encysted Toxoplasma gondii in tissues of equids fed oocysts.
TL;DR: Results indicate that T gondii can persist in edible tissues of living equids up to 476 days and that non-cooked horsemeat should not be fed to cats or eaten by human beings.
