Sexual transmission of Toxoplasma gondii from males to females: experimental verification using laboratory animal model
 Navrátil, Jiří ; Kodym, Petr (advisor) ; Votýpka, Jan (referee)
Toxoplasma gondii is cosmopolitly living parasite which prevalence in human extends to tens of percent. In its life cycle it uses any homoiothermic vertebrate as an intermediate host. The definitive host are felines from Felidae family. The acute phase of infection is medically important in immunocompromised pacients and by its risk of congenital toxoplasmosis in pregnant women who never suffered from this illness before. Infection could have serious and rarely even lethal consequences in both cases. This thesis focuses on experimental verification of theory of sexual transmission of toxoplasmosis from male to female on laboratory mice. Possible transmission was tested in acute phase and latent phase of infection. The result was negative in both cases. Moreover, we observed the parasite's affinity to tissue of organs in male mice by PCR technique. Particularly, our interest was in comparing genital organs with others. It was discovered that lungs and spleen are the most infected organs in acute phase of infection. Toxoplasma was also present in genital organs (especially in epididymis) but not more frequently than in others. We observed statistically significant difference between sexual and non-sexual organs in acute and latent toxoplasmosis - non-sexual organs were more infected in both phases....
