Come si trasmette la toxoplasmosi

gatto

La toxoplasmosi è una malattia causata da un protozoo parassita, il Toxoplasma gondii. E’ un parassita molto comune nel mondo, ed in alcuni paesi la toxoplasmosi raggiunge percentuali di contagio elevatissime, soprattutto nei climi caldi ed umidi. In molti casi il sistema immunitario è in grado di neutralizzare la presenza del parassita, che quindi resta nel corpo ma non procura danni. Ma ci sono alcune categorie a rischio, in particolare le donne in gravidanza e le persone immunodepresse.

Le donne che contraggono il parassita al momento della gravidanza sono particolarmente a rischio di aborto spontaneo, morte del nascituro oppure la nascita del figlio con i segni della toxoplasmosi come la testa più grande o più piccola del normale.

Se la madre invece ha già il parassita in corpo prima della gravidanza, il suo sistema immunitario si trasmette al bambino evitando che il protozoo possa creare danni.

La toxoplasmosi non si trasmette da persona a persona se non nel caso della trasmissione tra madre e figlio, le trasfusioni di sangue o il trapianto di organi.

Le principali vie di trasmissione del parassita sono invece:

Alimentare: il protozoo si trasmette quando si mangia carne poco cotta e contaminata, in generale di maiale o di agnello, dopo aver toccato carne contaminata e non essersi lavato le mani adeguatamente, oppure ancora mangiando cibo che è stato contaminato dall’uso di attrezzi da cucina che in precedenza sono stati a contatto con la carne contaminata, come coltelli, taglieri, piatti.

Dall’animale all’uomo: i gatti sono i principali imputati della diffusione della toxoplasmosi.

Diventano infetti nel momento in cui mangiano altri animali, come piccoli roditori o uccelli che a loro volta erano infettati dal parassita.

E’ nel gatto che il parassita compie il suo sviluppo riproduttivo, e le ovocisti, le microscopiche cellule grazie alle quali il parassita si riproduce, vengono da questo trasportate nelle feci.

Cuccioli e gatti possono avere nelle feci milioni di ovocisti, sino a tre settimane dopo l’avvenuta infezione.
Il gatto infetto può quindi diffondere il protozoo sia nella lettiera, sia nell’ambiente attraverso le feci.

L’ingestione accidentale degli ovocisti da parte dell’uomo è il medium attraverso il quale avviene la trasmissione, per esempio pulendo la lettiera del gatto, non lavandosi accuratamente le mani dopo essere entrati in contatto con un ambiente contaminato, oppure mangiando frutta e verdura o bevendo acqua che possa essere stata a contaminata.

Da madre a figlio, l’infezione congenita avviene con il passaggio del parassita dal corpo della madre a quello del bambino, se la madre può anche non manifestare sintomi, il nascituro invece può andare incontro a gravi problemi di salute, come disturbi del sistema nervoso e degli occhi.

Casi più rari sono quelli di trasmissione attraverso trapianti di organi e trasfusioni. Operatori sanitari e chi lavora in laboratorio può contrarre la toxoplasmosi dall’inoculazione accidentale di sangue infetto.

  13. להאמין לי! יש לנו מנהל רק מקבל יותר מהם! בנוסף, הבית החדש משכן, יש גן ילדים משלו. תעמוד בתור, תראה, עשר שנים ותקבל דירה! אמא שלי אומרת את זה. – ציית לאמא, היא לא תעץ רע! הם הגיעו עד עם אחי? מה, הוא בחור גדול ואכזרי, וברור שהוא שם עין על אשתי. בכל מקרה, אתה צריך ללכת לבקר אותו בעוד חודש, ובכן, בינתיים מקס ימשיך לקרוע את הפולצ ‘ קה… מקס. דירות דיסקרטיות! אפילו shmilfood.co.il

  14. שנראה כאילו הוא עומד לצאת מהמחשוף. היא ידעה איך להגיש דירות דיסקרטיות. ידעתי שאני צופה. וידעתי איך זה עובד עליי. אני, ארטיום, בן , מנהל ממוצע רגיל, עם קו שיער נסוג על הראש והרגל למעלה ולצדדים, הראו זאת בבירור. אבל, אבוי, לא הייתי צריך לפקפק-הפולצ ‘ קה לא תאפשר לי כלום לפני שהצעיר לא יזיין אותה כמו שצריך. דירות דיסקרטיות שתו כוס יין, כמו מתיישבים חדשים welcome-online.co.il

  15. Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog
    platform are you using for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because
    I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives
    for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the
    direction of a good platform.

  16. Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the images on this blog loading?
    I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my
    end or if it’s the blog. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

    They’re very convincing and can certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts
    are too brief for starters. May just you please extend them a bit from subsequent time?
    Thank you for the post.

    three emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
    Thanks a lot!

    lot more well-favored than you may be now. You’re
    so intelligent. You know therefore considerably on the
    subject of this topic, made me individually imagine it from
    so many various angles. Its like men and women are not interested except it’s one
    thing to do with Girl gaga! Your personal stuffs excellent.
