“…Of these animals, 53 were subjected to a bioassay and 37 (69.8%) were positive. In São Paulo state, 25.3% (119/470) and 40.0% (80/200) prevalence were found among stray cats (SILVA et al, 2002;MEIRELES et al, 2004) and 17.7% (44/248) and 19.4% (37/191) among house cats (LUCAS et al, 1999;LANGONI et al, 2001), similar to the 20.9% prevalence in this study. Domiciled cats with free access to the external environment have the opportunity to hunt small prey, making them more susceptible to T. gondii infection (ROBERTSON, 1998).…”

“…9 In our study, the population presented a higher probability of contamination from animals, mainly cats, who are the definitive hosts of this parasite. One of the main ways of contamination occurs during manual cleaning of excrements from animals, 10 being, therefore a suggestion of the transmission form that could be occurring in the investigated individuals.…”
