    Like Toxoplasma gondii, it is transmitted through the feces of cats.

    Only 7 to 20 days after infection in cats (very rarely) are cysts that excrete Toxoplasma gondii.

    Therefore, it is very important to dispose of cat feces in a timely manner.

    With the exception of pregnant women, people infected with toxoplasmosis have few symptoms.

    If you don't feel at ease, go and get vaccinated with your pet.

    The main thing is to dispose of the feces in a timely manner.
