About Toxoplasma gondii
Toxoplasma gondii is a parasitic protozoan capable of infecting most warm-blooded animals, including humans. Cats are the primary host, while dogs can become infected through contaminated soil, raw meat, or contact with infected cat feces. Many pets show no visible signs, but toxoplasmosis can lead to serious health complications—especially in immunocompromised animals and in pregnant women exposed to the parasite.
Common symptoms in pets
- Lethargy or fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Difficulty breathing
- Muscle stiffness or weakness
- Neurological issues in severe cases
When to use this test
- If your pet has contact with outdoor soil, raw meat, or other animals
- In environments such as animal shelters, catteries, or veterinary clinics
- If someone in your household is pregnant or immunocompromised
- For regular risk assessment and early detection
Technology and accuracy
The test uses colloidal gold immunochromatographic technology to detect T. gondii antigens with high sensitivity and specificity. By analyzing fecal samples directly, it enables early identification of infection—helping to prevent complications and reduce the risk of zoonotic transmission to humans.
