The Toxoplasma gondii Antigen Test from The Tester is a quick and accurate home test that lets you check if your dog or cat is infected with Toxoplasma gondii – the parasite that causes toxoplasmosis. The test gives a clear result within minutes, so you quickly know whether further steps are necessary.
What is Toxoplasma gondii (toxoplasmosis)?
Toxoplasma gondii is a common parasite in dogs and cats. Infected animals can excrete oocysts (especially briefly). Many animals have mild or no symptoms, but symptoms may include lethargy, fever, diarrhoea, decreased appetite and sometimes respiratory or eye symptoms. Early detection helps to provide appropriate care and limit infection within multi-animal environments.
How does the test work?
The test detects T. gondii antigens in a small sample of stool. Place the sample in the provided buffer, apply a few drops to the test cassette and read the result after 10-15 minutes. The test is easy to perform at home and requires no laboratory equipment.

When to use the test?
Use the test in case of complaints such as lethargy, fever, diarrhoea, reduced appetite or eye/airway complaints. Testing can also be useful with new dogs or cats in the house, or after contact with sick animals. If symptoms are persistent or severe, follow-up veterinary advice is recommended.
