Transmission via cats

Transmission via cats refers to the spread of certain diseases, like toxoplasmosis, from cats to humans. Cats can carry the Toxoplasma gondii parasite, which they shed in their feces. People can become infected if they handle cat litter, soil, or objects contaminated with infected feces, or if they consume undercooked meat containing the parasite. Most healthy individuals experience mild or no symptoms, but pregnant women or immunocompromised individuals may face more serious health risks. Proper hygiene, such as cleaning litter boxes daily and cooking meat thoroughly, helps prevent transmission.
