The infective form of Toxoplasma gondii fouind in cat feces is an oocyst wihich, when sporutlated, resembles that of the genus Isospora in havinig two sporocysts. Sporozoites obtained by artificial excystation of the oocyst are infective for monkey kidney cell cultures. Ultrastructural characteristics of sporozoites resemble those seen previously in proliferative stages of Toxoplasma gondii.
在猫粪便中发现的刚地弓形虫感染形式是一种卵囊,当它孢子化后,在具有两个子孢子囊方面类似于等孢子球虫属。通过卵囊人工脱囊获得的子孢子对猴肾细胞培养物具有感染性。子孢子的超微结构特征类似于先前在刚地弓形虫增殖阶段所观察到的特征。
