Come si trasmette la toxoplasmosi

di
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.

  34. First of aⅼl I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick questiօn which I’d like tο ɑsk if you do
    not mind. I was curious to fіnd out һow you center yourself and clear youг mind before writing.
    I’ve had dіfficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
    I do enjoy writing but it јuѕt sеemѕ like tһe first 10 to 15 minutes tend to bе lost just trying to
    figure oսt how to begin. Any suggestiοns or hints?
    Kudos!

  43. It’s truly very difficult in this active life to listen news on TV,
    therefore I just use web for that purpose, and take the
    hottest information.

  52. Excellent website you have here but I was wondering if you knew of
    any forums that cover the same topics talked about here?
    I’d really love to be a part of group where I can get comments from other
    experienced people that share the same interest. If you have
    any recommendations, please let me know. Many thanks!

  55. Nice post. I used to be checking continuously
    this blog and I’m impressed! Very useful info particularly the ultimate section 🙂 I maintain such info
    a lot. I was seeking this certain information for a long time.
    Thank you and good luck.

  64. Having read this I thought it was very informative. I
    appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this informative article together.
    I once again find myself spending a significant
    amount of time both reading and leaving comments.
    But so what, it was still worthwhile!

  112. Witam, muszę przyznać, że świat gier wyraźnie idzie do przodu.
    Z mojego doświadczenia najważniejszą rzeczą pozostaje zdrowy rozsądek, gdyż brak
    dyscypliny błyskawicznie prowadzą do strat.
    Wielokrotnie widzę, że gracze liczą na szybki zysk, choć tak naprawdę ważna
    jest strategia. W związku z tym dobrze jest testować
    vegas hero online casino, co ułatwia lepiej zrozumieć zasady gry.
    Moim zdaniem oferty startowe wyglądają kusząco, ale każdorazowo trzeba czytać regulaminy, dla własnego bezpieczeństwa.
    Ciekawi mnie, co sądzicie o sprawdzone metody?
    Waszym zdaniem lepiej ryzykować ostrożnie, czy jednak grać
    agresywnie okazyjnie? Napiszcie, co o tym sądzicie.

  127. Hey there! This is my first visit to your blog! We are
    a group of volunteers and starting a new project in a community in the
    same niche. Your blog provided us useful information to work
    on. You have done a wonderful job!

  130. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually
    something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
    I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

  146. I am really impressed with your writing skills as well
    as with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you
    customize it yourself? Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it
    is rare to see a great blog like this one nowadays.

  160. I still remember the moment, but the day I stepped into the backend of the sports world, everything
    I thought I knew about modern sports completely collapsed.

    I always believed the danger was only on the field, but when I saw how the entire
    industry had turned into this fragile high-tech ecosystem, I honestly felt overwhelmed.

    What hit me hardest was realizing that cybercriminals weren’t going after “IT servers” anymore.
    They were attacking everything — contract files. One breach,
    and millions could be lost instantly.

    And the scariest part?
    I saw it with my own eyes.

    One day, during a routine check, someone mentioned
    how a data leak nearly destroyed a negotiation. That was the moment I understood how thin the
    line really is between order and total digital disaster.

    But the real shock came when I looked deeper into betting platforms.

    I swear, I always thought they were just websites.
    But no.
    They are ultra-sensitive digital ecosystems. One tiny manipulation can shift odds globally or make entire markets react like they’re on fire.

    When I learned how seriously regulated environments handle security
    — especially the kind you see described in official breakdowns
    — it opened my eyes. If anyone wants to understand how this level of protection actually works, they can always look it
    up directly from the source. The full explanations are there,
    and they’re honestly worth reading.

    Inside the clubs, it was even more surreal. I saw databases
    full of injury histories — things that could ruin a season if leaked.

    And yet the biggest weakness wasn’t the firewalls.

    It was the people.
    One emotional click, one careless moment, and the whole system can fall apart.
    I watched entire staff units go through security training because phishing
    had become a daily threat.

    Compliance teams were everywhere too — checking access, reviewing logs, forcing documentation. I used to think compliance was boring, but
    now I understand that without it, the entire digital side of sports would melt
    into chaos.

    And the future… that’s another story.
    AI detection, automated response systems, cloud architectures — it felt like watching the digital version of an arms race.

    But the truth I walked away with was simple:

    Cybersecurity isn’t some extra cost. It’s the only thing holding
    this whole world together.

    And honestly, after everything I saw, I can say the system I
    was reviewing really did an exceptional job.
    They handled their mission far better than I expected.

    If anyone wants to dig deeper or understand how these structures
    really work, I’d definitely suggest getting more information directly from the source.

    It’s all publicly explained — and believe me, once you read it, you’ll never look at sports or betting the
    same way again.

  168. Hey! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa?
    My blog discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you are interested feel free to shoot me an email.

    I look forward to hearing from you! Wonderful blog by the way!

  179. Do you have a spam problem on this blog; I also am a blogger, and I was wanting
    to know your situation; many of us have created some nice practices and we are
    looking to exchange methods with other folks, please shoot me an e-mail if interested.

  193. Interesting approach towards this. Im curious to think what type of
    impact this would have globally? There are times when things like this begin to have global expansion and
    frustration. Ill check back to see what you have to say.
