About Toxoplasma gondii in cats

2021-11-10

Cats are carriers of Toxoplasma gondii, which is transmitted through cat feces. Wash your hands immediately after touching cat feces to avoid infection.

Pregnant women infected with toxoplasmosis can cause abortion, premature delivery, stillbirth or malformation through placenta. At present, there is no medicine to treat this kind of disease, so it is very important to do a good job in food hygiene and personal hygiene.

When pregnant women keep cats, they must disinfect the cat nest frequently, which can be disinfected with peracetic acid solution or 3% caustic soda to avoid contact with cat droppings, and 7% ammonia water should be used to disinfect the areas polluted by cat droppings. Don't get too close to cats, and don't let cats lick rice bowls, teacups and other daily necessities.

It is suggested that women who want to get pregnant should be tested for Toxoplasma gondii before pregnancy to ensure the health of the fetus after pregnancy. You also need to pay more attention after pregnancy to avoid later infection.
