Pregnant Women and Cat. image

     Many people assume that the primary cause of the disease toxoplasmosis is a cat. So much recommended for pregnant women or women who want to become pregnant to avoid cat. In fact, the rumor is not entirely true. Almost all warm-blooded animals can be infected with toxoplasma. Animals are often located around humans like cattle, horses, rats, sheep, dogs, chickens, birds, pigs, etc., may also be infected with toxoplasma.

     Modes of transmission of this disease is as follows, animals infected with toxoplasma oocysts only spread within a certain time period, which is about 10 days from the infection. After 10 days the number of oocysts were distributed normally very little and have a very small risk of transmission. Humans or animals can be infected if the ingestion of cysts or oocysts toxoplasma. Cysts or oocysts this is like an egg. The eggs will hatch ingested and evolve in animals or humans. The cysts can live in muscle (meat) of human and various other animals. Transmission can also occur when animals or humans that eat the meat raw or undercooked meat containing toxoplasma cysts. Toxoplasma cysts also can live in the soil in a certain period of time (up to 18 months). From this land toxoplasma can spread through animals, plants or vegetables are in contact with the cyst.

  Some pregnant women due to Toxoplasma gondii is Cysts can be caused defects in the fetal brain and various neurological disorders such as neurological disorders of the eye (blind, etc.). Another result is a fetus with a large head size and filled with fluid (hydrocephalus).

For that reason, pregnant women should pay attention to the following points to avoid toxoplasmosis:

1. Avoid eating undercooked meat. Usually meat on skewers perfect immature, so better avoid broiled meat. In addition, the sushi and soft-boiled eggs.

2. Avoid eating raw vegetables, because it is feared there are oocysts attached (can wind rain water). Wash raw vegetables does not guarantee the loss of oocysts that may stick to the tuck-folds vegetables.

3. Undergo laboratory tests in the first trimester of pregnancy is very useful for the early detection of toxoplasmosis.

4. Washing hands with soap and running water after contact or touching the warm-blooded animals.

    Texoplasma not only contagious in women, can also men. Some men are due to toxoplasma, acute toxoplasma infection can cause swelling of the lymph nodes. When continuous can cause infertility. Toxoplasma can infect and cause inflammation of the sperm ducts. Excessive inflammation can cause narrowing of even closing channels of sperm. As a result, these men become infertile, because the sperm produced can not be streamed to fertilize an egg.
