Toxoplasmosis was diagnosed at necropsy in a 4-week-old pig from a litter of 16 born to a clinically normal sow. Multifocal acute necrosis of blood vessels and parenchyma was found in the small intestine, mesenteric lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain. Numerous tachyzoites, ultrastructurally indistinguishable from Toxoplasma gondii, were found in lesions. The affected pig and seven other littermates died after diarrhea had developed within 1 to 2 weeks of birth. The most likely source of infection was oocysts from cats on the farm.
