Abstract

In animals experimental infection with Toxoplasma gondii often lasts for years. In man ocular toxoplasmosis may at times become reactivated years after the initial lesion is seen. This suggests that a dormant infection is present. It therefore seems that a chronic cryptic infection in animals and man is quite common without any obvious evience of toxoplasmosis. Since man and his household pets such as cats and dogs commonly harbor Toxoplasma gondii according to the serological evidence obtained from the SabinFeldman tests it was believed that the organism perhaps could be isolated in possible dormant infection by inoculation of tissue into susceptible mice. The purpose of this paper is to report on the infections which were found with this procedure.
