To study the effect of high temperature on infectivity of Toxoplasma gondii tissue cysts, pork from infected pigs was mixed with infected mouse brains and homogenized thoroughly. Twenty-gram samples of infected homogenized meat were sealed in plastic pouches, pressed to a uniform thickness of 2 mm, and subjected to water-bath temperatures of 49, 52, 55, 58, 61, 64, and 67 C for 0.01, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48, and 96 min. Treated samples were digested in HCl-pepsin solution and bioassayed in mice. Toxoplasma gondii tissue cysts remained viable at 52 C for 9.5 min but not for 9.5 min at 58 C; tissue cysts were generally rendered nonviable by heating to 61 C or higher temperature for 3.6 min. Tissue cysts survived once at 64 C for 3 min. These data demonstrate that T. gondii tissue cysts are less heat resistant than encysted Trichinella spiralis larvae.
