Cat disease can be fatal for infected pet owners Toxoplasmosis gondii is an in tracellular parasite which affects cats, many mammals and man. This parasite has a very com plicated life cycle. The disease shows three distinct forms. The cyst or resting form is found throughout the body of many mammals and birds. The oocyst or reproductive stage is found only in the cat. A cat eats an infected bird or small mammal which contains cysts within its body. In the cat's intestine, the cyst develops into the reproductive stage and are shed in the cat's stool. Most cats show no clinical signs of the disease. A cat shedding oocysts in the stool can transmit toxoplasmosis to humans. Like cats, most people show no apparent clinical signs of the disease. Pregnant women can pass this to their baby which can lead to birth defects, stillbirths and spon taneous abortion. To prevent exposure, limit your cat from hunting wild animals. Feed it only cooked meats and You And Your Pet always wash your hands after* handling the litterbox. Caver your child's sandbox, clean the litter' daily, and wear gloves while work-* ing in the garden. Pregnant women should not" clean the litterbox. Your cat I should be tested by either a blood; test or stool sample. Please contact; your local veterinarian for further;' information. ; Are there any benefits in varying', a dog's diet?
