ABSTRACT:
A method of immunizing cats against shedding of Toxoplasma oocysts is described wherein cats are given a primary Toxoplasma infection, preferably by feeding of tissue cysts, and are chemoprophylactically treated to suppress oocyst shedding as a result of the primary infection. thus, the treated cats are given immunity to oocyst shedding without the necessity of initial shedding. The treating agent is preferably monensin given with the cats' daily ration at a level of at least about 200 mg. monensin per kg. of cat food. Other useful treating agents include salinomycin or a combination of orally administered sulfadiazine and pyrimethamine.
