It is important that pregnant women and those with a poor
immune systems become aware of the potential risks posed by cat. Many of us
keep cats as house pets without realizing the dangers they may be harboring.
Cats are hosts to infectious protozoa that cause disease in mammals such as
humans. Adult humans rarely showed signs of significant disease if they become
infected. However, if pregnant women become infected, the foetus can become
infected by parasites and suffer serious congenital damage. In the worst cases,
infants may lose their eyesight and acquire motor deficits. In people with poor
immune systems or AIDS protozoa can cause seizure and death. The symptoms of
the disease are not evident in cats so there is no way of knowing if a
particular cat is at risk.
