Eight female, 12- to 34-month-old, specific-pathogen free cats were inoculated orally with Toxoplasma gondii cysts on day 0, then with Isospora felis and Isospora rivolta oocysts on day 39, and cysts of Hammondia hammondi on day 86 after inoculation with Toxoplasma. All cats shed oocysts of all 4 of these coccidia within 11 postinoculation days. The female cats were caged with 4 male Toxoplasma-free cats, starting 66 days after inoculation with Toxoplasma, until they were 5 to 6 weeks pregnant. Kittens that were born were housed with their mothers until necropsied or weaned. One 42-day-old kitten shed T gondii oocysts in feces. It was necropsied 2 days later and asexual stages of Toxoplasma (types D and E), gametocytes, and oocysts were demonstrated in sections of superficial epithelial cells of its small intestine. Lesions or forms of Toxoplasma were not demonstrated histologically in tis extraintestinal organs. Toxoplasma was not isolated from feces or tissues of the remaining 47 kittens born to these 8 queens. Toxoplasma was not isolated from the 4 male cats that were caged with infected females for 53, 59, 217, and 217 days. The source of toxoplasma infection in the kitten remained unknown but was considered unlikely to be congenital or through fecal contamination. Oocysts of I felis, I rivolta, and H hammondi were not found in the feces of any kittens, indicating that these coccidia are unlikely to be transmitted congenitally.
