| 總結: | Toxoplasmosis is an obligate-intracellular protozoal disease caused by
Toxoplasma gondii. This parasite occurs worldwide with variative prevalence,
infecting all warm-blooded vertebrates, including humans. Cats are the only
definitive host that are capable of excreting oocyst into the environment. As a pet
animal, cats increase the risk of transmission, especially to humans, if they are not
properly treated. The aim of this study is to measure the infection rate of
toxoplasmosis in cats patients of Prof. Soeparwi Animal Hospital Yogyakarta, and
also to compare the differences in erythrocytes, Hb, PCV, and leucocytes count
between the seropositive and seronegative cats. Forty blood samples are collected
through the cephalic or femoral vein, 1cc in the EDTA tube for the blood count
and 2cc remains in the syringe for the serological test. Serological test is done
using the Pastorex� Toxo Kit resulting 4 of 40 (10%) cats are seropositive to T.
gondii. Total erythrocytes count, Hb, and PCV level are insignificantly (P>0.05)
lower in seropositive cats, and total leucocytes count levels are insignificantly
(P>0.05) higher in seropositive cats. It can be concluded that cats, particularly
patients of Prof. Soeparwi Animal Hospital Yogyakarta, have actually low
potential of being a reservoir for toxoplasmosis. |
