A paper has been published in the journal Trends in Parasitology. As per the same, it has been unveiled that cat poop can be a public health concern.
The paper has been taken out by Dr. E. Fuller Torrey and Dr. Robert H. Yolken. As per experts, it has been found that cat poop can contain Toxoplasma oocysts, which can become a matter of concern.
It has been seen that people do not find cat poop to be problematic. It might be due to a reason that they are unaware of the problem that can be caused. They have suggested that authorities concerned should have control over the population of feral cat.
Not only this, research should be carried out on parasites that are found in the cat poop. There are a number of problems that can happen to humans if parasite affects them. Fetus of pregnant woman can be affected by the parasite. Not only this, the parasite can cause brain infections among people who live with AIDS.
"The accumulation of Toxoplasma gondii oocysts, found in cat feces, may be a much bigger problem than we realize because of their apparent long life and their association with some diseases", said experts.
