Toxoplasmosis - Plain and Simple

- Get to know toxoplasmosis with a smile on your face!
A few notes:
(Watch the video first or you won’t have a clue what I’m talking about.)
• Don’t mistake Toxoplasma for Toxocara. The latter is a common parasitic roundworm.
• Dogs can’t infect people with toxoplasmosis unless you eat their raw meat! They can only act as intermediate hosts which means that they never shed oocysts in their feces.
• Fecal examination is not a very helpful tool when it comes to screening cats for toxoplasmosis. Since the duration of shedding oocysts is so short, you’ll likely get a negative result which will leave you in the dark regarding the toxoplasma status of the animal. Furthermore, there are other harmless parasites producing very similar looking oocysts, that when present, give a false positive result.
• The things said about feline AIDS can be applied to people and HIV as well. Toxoplasmosis is one of the infections that can give AIDS-patients a very hard time.
• When talking about „messed up” immunity I should also mention „low” immunitiy against toxoplasma specifically. If a cat acquires a natural infection but isn’t exposed to toxoplasma again for a long time (years), its protection can decline. This does not lead to cysts activating or spontaneous reshedding of oocysts but in case of a brand new infection, some cats may produce a low number of oocysts. The level of anti-toxoplasma immunity can also be measured with the blood test.

This taught me more than my professor did in a 3 hour lecture
Amina A school is dated
²
Of course, we have no way of knowing if that's your fault or the professor's.
more than my entire school
You are beautiful
thiss video deserves more attention
This is hilarious and informative! Thank you!!
Yeap it was so fn funny
This is a great video on Toxoplasmosis. I had a latent infection flare up after starting chemotherapy treatments back in December of 2017. I developed Ocular Toxoplasmosis, and because my blood tests all came back negative for Toxo, I did not get on the proper treatment until it was too late. I am now blind in my left eye, and I am currently on a double dose of Bactrim to treat it. Although Toxo is not uncommon, and many people do carry it, due to my situation I have come to believe that there should be more awareness of it, and perhaps more testing for people who are immunocompromised. Had I been tested prior to starting chemotherapy, I could have been treated ahead of time and likely would still have sight in my left eye. I do think this video has taught me more about Toxo than even the doctors who are treating me know, so I am very happy that I came across it!
So sorry you've had these medical issues. I hope things are better these days. Wishing you all the best
I need help I'm going blind and no doctor has helped me I have a child whom I can't take care of if I'm blind I've already lost my left eye and is starting in my right please somene guide me I'm desperate
@@pearllay2410 Hey Pearl I can help you with those nasty worms just let me know how can I pm you. Please stay safe and get rid of all your pets
Cats are spies for alien species, odd creatures...
@@silverbackanimal7215 That's what pellet guns are for. Don't let cats outside if you care about them. They kill nearly 10 billion birds worldwide yearly. And have caused 25 native species in Australia to go extinct. A well placed pellet a day keeps the cat away.
I wish they taught like this in med school ! it was amazingly explained . Thank you !
This is not med school stuff at all. This is common knowledge for common people.
amazing work, 7 years later and this video is still light, very beneficial with great sense of humor
This is the kind of video that makes me memorize the lots of details for each disease.
Watching this because I'm pregnant and changed the cat's litter last night. Washed my hands 4 times, my cat is indoor only, fully vaccinated, and doesn't have contact with outside animals (besides two mice she caught - did not eat.) This makes me feel much less paranoid lol.
I'm glad I could help!
Wrong@@one.of.a.kind.
ja sten The same natural immune system that makes it die from preventable diseases.
@Chook Amanda how is your baby? I am 7weeks pregnant and changed my cat litter last night.. I am worried for my baby.. Thanks
@@ynamarcelino7277 Baby is fine lol hes 2 now. No issues. Wash your hands really well after or use a paper towel to hold onto the scoop handle.
My cat is sick, I'm learning stuff,
I can listen to you for hours, actually I fell asleep, which is good, you have a calming voice, and explain this plain and simple
You don’t know how much I appreciated the humor in this video !! Thank you!
7 years and still informative as hell👏🏻
I like your style^^ A extremely humorous an equally informative video.
This is the future of learning, fun and informative. Thanks!
"Those infected will not be so forever, just till the end of their life"🤣🤣🤣
This is fekin brilliant. The best video ever on something educational. Great voice and humour to the vid 👌😉
I got so scared but this video really calmed me down! It was so informatively and we'll explained. Thank you!
Dude i swear this video made me understand waaaaaaaaaay better than my proffesor's explanation. Such an important and informative video
This is the funniest and most informative lesson I have ever listened to! Thank you!!!
The most amusingly instructive video that I've watched for a LONG time.
Thank you very much. Subscribed
thaaaaanks man .. i have a Final exam tomorrow about that shit and you helped me alot
you're Awesome
+wael alhifzi Thank you! I hope you passed!
Did you get your degree?
@@bernardsmith4505 no he was found dead from toxoplasmosis
What a novel effective funny way of explaining . Its awesome. Thank you.
I LOVE your way of teaching !
I've never laughed so hard watching a science video. The boundary between comedy and education is blurred.Love it!
g-zeus man! You’re sense of humor is genius!!! That made an otherwise uninteresting subject thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you!
I love your humor! Thank you for posting this and helping cats at risk of stupid people!
I don't know why there are comments full of hate over here. I am personally a cat lover and neither toxoplasmosis nor any other parasite transmitted by cats has made me love them any less. You just need to take the right measures when dealing with a cat and have an attentive eye on any risk like the video says.. just do the tests.
Besides that, I am a medical student and this is THE BEST parasitology video I've seen on youtube. Genuinely enjoyed watching it. ;) stay awesome !
Toxo wouldn't make you love your cat less. It would make you love it more.
u can scan your cat if your cat have Toxo or not
IT DOES NOT SAY HOW IT IS TRANSMITTED FROM A CONTAMINATED LITTER BOX TO HUMANS. IF YOU CAN OR KNOW THE ANSWER TELL US.
@J.D Maya I think it's the case that if the cat has just caught tox and is shedding the ooocysts, theoretically if you changed the litter, got cat poo on your fingers, then put your fingers in your mouth, you might get infected if you're not already immune.
Wash those hands!
I fucking hate cats and I’m probably infected
I chuckled quite a few times watching this and I got the knowledge o was seeking from your video. Good job!
It's simple amazing. Thank you very much! If possible don't give up of this project, it worths a lot!!! Watching from Brazil 🌸
Your video is beautiful, informative and funny. I'm sitting on the sofa with my high-toxoplasmotic cat who also has feline AIDS, and am worried about his recovery..but he looks way better than the sick cat you showed :) so we keep high hope. I sent the video to my husband since he didn't understand the disease from the veterinarian's explanations..
I heard about this from my stepdad and I had to learn about, thank you!
So i got diagnosed with Toxo years ago... I own 2 cats. And soon after had a pregnant wife. After about $1.2k both cats were tested and negative!... In the meantime (upon me realising it wasnt an eyelash in my eye but was something more serious.... ie thousands of dots) i lost 70% of my eyesight in my right eye in 30 Hrs. The bug had worked its way via my blood stream to the back of my eye and was eating away and causing "floaters". The first 3 Drs all told me it was from my cats. The final Dr who was the most prominent Dr in Australia for Toxo said the cat theory was completely over exaggerated. And that by far the more likely cause of it was eating under cooked meat ;) My holiday destinations are definitely the cause... Not my cats :) And ive had 2 relapses... And i can tell pretty quickly as my attention span is 0 and i get angry very quick... As soon as that happens i go back to the Drs and they sort out the issue before it takes off again
Oh my goodness, really?? Thank you for sharing your experience, because I read about it crossing the blood brain barrier and messing with eyesight, I'm freaked out! So you've had relapses, does that mean you didn't fully get rid of the parasite at first? How is it treated?
@@bosslady1914 I've had 2 relapses. Both times I realised early (within 2 days) and went straight to the specialist where they put me on steroids for 10 weeks. Initial treatment was steroid needle to eye then oral pills for 10 weeks. Treatment the following 2 X was just oral tablets. I was told for the average person infected it re appears twice. So hopefully I'm done! The reason I notice it is I get very short attention span and very angry. On both occassions I just thought it was best to leave work and chill... Then still the same the next day so I knew it back. When in the eye it would eat away at the back of it and all the loose parts would float around at the back of my eye and get magnified and look huge in my vision.... Crazy...
In my place where i came from, toxo were claimed to cause infertility. Never had a child, been trying for ages. And a cat lover.
Very good! Good for keeping animal management students awake in biology.
I wish RUclips has "100 likes" button. Thank you so much for the Video! This is the first time in my life ever that I'm learning the life cycle, smiling and laughing at the same time

Minden tiszteletem! Ezeket a cifra és egyedi poénokat (meg szakmai kifejezéselet) lefordítani és elmondani angolul IS! (akkor is ha ezt a melót esetleg felosztottad másokkal) Így már megbocsájtom, hogy relatíve ritkán van vidi. A világnak meg kell ismernie a tudást, és Téged!
Így tova!

Toxoplasma is playing a game of plague inc. waiting for that 100% infection number. No cats allowed in Greenland!
Interesting. Please please elaborate a bit more cause my girlfriend is pregnant and im curious

Great work classy enough for TV education documentry with bonus comedy.
Funny how people say they court an illness but with parasitic life forms its more like they catch us.
