- The zoonotic parasite Toxocara cati (Schrank, 1788) is a nematode for domestic cats that also infects humans, with the soil being the principal common reservoir. T. cati, along with other Toxocara species plus Ascaris suum and Baylisascaris procionis, are causative agents of larva-migrans syndrome. Our aim was to determine experimentally the following biological variables for T. cati: time of egg development, prepatent period, and biotic potential. Two cats were inoculated: one with infective T.-cati eggs (IE), the other with mouse meat after deliberate T.-cati infection (M). Quantitative data were compared by the Bayesian mean-differences test and expressed as mean ± standard error. Complete egg development through the infective stage required 23 days; the prepatent period lasted 23 days in both animals; and the mathematically calculated biotic potentials obtained were lower than the values previously reported. Significant differences were observed in the distribution of the mean of eggs/female/day in favor of the M animal (M = 10,033 ± 1,281, vs. IE = 8,599 ± 937, Z = 3.620; P <0.01). The nematodes parasiting the IE cat showed a much more prolonged oviposition than the M that extended until the day after the administration of an antihelminth drug (piperazine). The M animal had stopped oviposition 15 days before that point. Nevertheless, at final of the experience (67 days postinoculation) the eggs per g for the M cat was higher than for the IE. Future studies will elucidate which mode of infection is more significant epidemiologically. Further investigations on the biology of T. cati are needed to enable an efficient epidemiological control of this zoonotic parasite.

O objectivo de este estudo foi determinar experimentalmente as seguintes variables biológicas para T.cati: tempo de desenvolvimento dos ovos, periodo prepatente e potencial biótico. Se inocularon dois felinos: um com ovos larvados de T.cati (IE) e outro com carne de um rato infectado experimentalmente com ovos larvados do nemátodo (M). Os dados cuantitativos comparam-se usando uma prova de diferença de médias Bayesiana e expressaram-se em média ± erro extandar. O desenvolvimento dos ovos atê seu estádio infectante obtevese aos 23 días. O período prepatente fue de 23 días em ambos animais e os potenciais bióticos obtidos mediante cálculo matemático foram inferiores aos valores informados previamente. Teve diferenças significativas na distribuição de médias da variable Potencial Biótico a favor do animal inoculado com carne de rato infectada. (M=10,033 ± 1,281, vs. IE=8,599 ± 937, Z=3.620; P<0,01). Os nematodos que parasitaron o gato IE mostraran uma oviposición mas prolongada, que estendeu-se até o día posterior a administração da droga antihelmíntica (piperazina). No animal M interrompeu-se a oviposición 15 días antes de que IE. No entanto, ao final da experiência (día 67 post-inoculación), o gato M eliminou uma maior quantidade de ovos por grama de materia fecal que o gato IE. Transladando a natureza, a situação proposta em forma experimental, podería inferirse que os animaies infectados com carne proveniente de hospedadores paraténicos têm maior importância epidemiológica por contaminar más o ambiente. Serían necessários más estudos sobre a biología de Toxocara cati a efeitos de poder realizar um controle epidemiológico eficiente sobre este parásito zoonótico. - Materia
