Welcome to our BMLT 1st Year Microbiology Class with Prof. Aalema khan.
In this lecture, we will study the Life Cycle of Toxoplasma gondii — an important protozoan parasite causing Toxoplasmosis, a globally prevalent infection.

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite and its life cycle includes both sexual and asexual phases occurring in different hosts. Understanding the life cycle is crucial for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment in medical laboratory practice.

📚 This Topic Covers:

Introduction to Toxoplasma gondii
Morphology: Tachyzoites, Bradyzoites, Oocysts
Definitive host – Cats
Intermediate hosts – Humans, animals
Asexual cycle in intermediate host
Sexual cycle in cats (intestine)
Transmission routes:
Contaminated food/water
Cat feces
Transplacental
Blood transfusion
Pathogenesis & disease: Toxoplasmosis
Laboratory diagnosis
Prevention & control

📌 Life Cycle Overview (Simple for Students):

Cat intestine → sexual cycle → unsporulated oocysts in feces
Environment → oocysts sporulate → infective
Humans/animals ingest oocysts → release tachyzoites
Tachyzoites multiply → convert into bradyzoites (tissue cysts)
Infection spreads via blood, placenta, or tissue cyst ingestion
Cycle continues when cats eat infected animals

✨ This class is useful for:

BMLT, DMLT, Nursing, Paramedical, and Medical Laboratory Technology students preparing for theory exams, viva, and practicals.
It strengthens the conceptual understanding of parasitology and helps in competitive exam preparation.
