Relationship Between Cat Contact and Infection by Toxoplasma gondii in Humans: A Meta-Analysis

2016-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Domestic cats are well known to play an important role in the transmission of infective stages of Toxoplasma gondii to humans and other warm-blooded animals, and it is therefore logical to assume that individuals who own cats would have a higher prevalence of antibodies to T. gondii than would individuals from a normal age-matched population. However, a review of the literature indicates that cat ownership is of v...
