    Document: Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite with a global distribution, and infects all species of animals and birds. 56 Felids are the definitive host and the only animals capable of shedding oocysts in their feces. The prevalence of infection varies geographically, and travel in endemic areas should be considered a risk factor for humans acquiring the infection. 57 The serologic prevalence in humans of T. gondii-specific antibodies ranges between 8% and 80%, depending on numerous epidemiological factors. 58 Cat owners should be aware of the risk of infection during travel to areas of high prevalence.
