Abstract
Toksoplasmozis dünyada memeli ve kanatlı türlerini etkileyen ve Toxoplasma gondii tarafından oluşturulan son konağı kedigiller olan sistemik protozoon enfeksiyonudur. Dünya genelinde evcil kedilerde (Felis catus) seroprevalansın %30-40 arasında olduğu tahmin edilmektedir. İnsanlarda parazitin oluşturduğu problemler açıkça bilinmektedir. Bununla birlikte kedilerde parazitin beyin, spinal kord, göz, akciğer, karaciğer, kalp, iskelet kası, dil, adrenal bez ve böbrek gibi hayati organlarda lezyonlar şekillendirdiği ortaya konulmuştur. Ancak, parazitin kedilerde davranışsal değişikliğe neden olup olmadığı incelenmemiştir. Bu derleme ile T. gondii'nin kedilerde insanlardakine benzer davranışsal değişikliklere neden olup olmadığının araştırılması konusuna katkı sunulacağı kanaatindeyiz
Toxoplasmosis is a protozoan infection, whose definitive host is cats, can affect mammals and avian population whole around the world. It is thought that the seroprevelence among the domestic cats (Felis catus) is 30-40% in all over the world. As an intermediate host, problems are all clearly reported in human beings. The parasite can make problems in brain, spinal cord, eyes, lung, liver, heart, muscle, tongue, adrenal glands and kidneys in cats as both an intermediate and definitive host. But behavioral alterations are not investigated in cats. Within the present review it is aimed to guide researchers on new topics about possible roles of toxoplasmosis in behavioral alterations in cats same as seen in human beings
