    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Young piglets infected with Toxoplasma gondii showed severe disease, unlike older piglets who mounted an immune response. This highlights how the host

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary immunology
    • Parasitology
    • Animal health

    Background:

    • Toxoplasma gondii is an opportunistic parasite.
    • Neonatal susceptibility to parasitic infections varies.
    • The immune system's role in controlling parasitic infections is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of age on piglet susceptibility to low-virulence Toxoplasma gondii.
    • To characterize the immunological and pathological responses in piglets of different ages.

    Main Methods:

    • Infection of one-day-old and 8-10-day-old piglets with a low-virulence Toxoplasma gondii strain.
    • Clinical observation and post-mortem examination of tissues.
    • Histopathological analysis of lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus.

    Main Results:

    • One-day-old piglets experienced severe inflammatory lesions, lymphoid depletion, and mortality, resembling high-virulence infections.
    • Older piglets developed an immunological response, survived, and showed inflammatory lesions.
    • Control piglets exhibited delayed lymphoid system maturation.

    Conclusions:

    • Piglet age significantly influences the outcome of Toxoplasma gondii infection.
    • The host's immunological competence modulates parasite virulence.
    • Neonatal immune immaturity increases susceptibility to parasitic diseases.
