“…However, serological data of cats from Europe yielded percentages of seropositivity ranging from 10% in Persian cats from Spain [ 49 ] to 82% in domestic cats from Poland [ 50 ]. Furthermore, the data from the present study agree with the seroprevalence values of toxoplasma infection of cats from Italy, ranging from 0.4% [ 51 ] to 50.4% [ 52 ]. It is well known that the prevalence of toxoplasma infection appears to widely vary depending on the age of host, the lifestyle and the availability of food [ 6 ].…”

Alguns pesquisadores têm afirmado que a possibilidade de transmissão da infecção, a partir de urna determinada espécie animal, está vinculada às condições geográficas e econômicas regionais, ao tipo de rebanho predominante, à extensão territorial e à constituição do solo (Garrido e col., 13 1972).…”
