Resumo: Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan of ubiquitous nature, that has adaptations to which are attribueted such characteristic. The shedding of oocysts by wild felines and the wide range of species that may serve as intermediate hosts are the main factors of its presence in the natural environments. The provision of raw meat to the carnivores and the existence of a large number of potential hosts in the vicinities of Felidae precincts, as well as the presence of stray cats in the zoos, may explain the prevalence of infection in these captive animals. The action of mechanical agents, such as the wind and insects, contributes to the dissemination of this parasite.

A eliminação de oocistos por felídeos selvagens e a ampla variedade de espécies que lhe servem de hospedeiros intermediários, são os principais fatores de sua presença nos ambientes naturais. O fornecimento de carne crua aos carnívoros e a existência de um grande número de hospedeiros potenciais ao redor dos recintos dos felídeos, bem como a presença de gatos de rua nos zoológicos, podem explicara prevalência da infecção nesses animais cativos. A ação de agentes mecânicos, tais como o vento e insetos, contribue na disseminação deste parasito.    UEL1994-01-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/503110.5433/1679-0359.1994v15n1p94Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 15 No. 1 (1994); 94-100Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 15 n. 1 (1994); 94-1001679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
