Toxoplasmosis
Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by a parasite found in cat feces, soils, and in undercooked infected meat. Cats may contract toxoplasmosis after eating infected birds or rodents, and the infection can spread to persons only through direct contact with the cat’s feces or soils in contact with the feces. Toxoplasmosis is easily prevented by taking simple precautions such as keeping cats indoors, thoroughly cooking meats and washing fruits and vegetables before eating, wearing gloves while gardening, washing hands after handling raw meats, and pregnant woman should avoid cleaning litter boxes.
