The Life Cycle of Toxoplasma Gondii Model (SKU JC-BE-6237) is a Toxoplasma life cycle model showing cats and other felids as the only hosts in which the sexual cycle occurs and oocysts are shed. It shows warm-blooded intermediate hosts carrying tissue cysts, and three routes of human infection: oocysts from soil, water or unwashed produce, tissue cysts in undercooked meat, and transmission across the placenta. Reactivation in immunocompromised patients is also covered. JaincoLab manufactures it in Ambala, India.
