Study of histopathological changes of domestic cat organs which were serologically positive toxoplasmosis and laboratory infected which Toxoplasma have been undertaken. Histological section is prepared from organs including brain, liver, lung, kidney, duodenum, jejunum, ileum and spleenthen stained using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and observed under microscope for histopathological changes. The results showed that in the serologically positive animals cell proliferation, infiltration of leucocyte and macrophage cells were observed in the ileum, whilst infiltration of eosinophil and leucocyte was seen in the kidney and liver. However, in other organ such as duodenum, jejunum, and spleen there were no changes observed. In cat experimentally infected with Toxoplasma, the infiltration of eosinophil cells were observed in the ileum and lung, while other organs such as kidney, liver, brain, jejunum, duodenum, and spleen showed no infiltration of inflammation cells. In conclusion, based on the results seropositive cat, showed proliferation of epithelial cells, leucocyte cells, and macrophage cells in theileum, while in the lung, kidney and liver showed infiltration of eosinophil and leucocyte. No infiltration of inflammation cells were observed in the brain, jejunum, duodenum, and spleen. |
