Cat-related parasite risks eyesight
A recent study warns that one-third of the world's population could be exposed to a parasite transmitted by cats, which causes eye infections and potentially leads to blindness. The situation could worsen if it is not officially recognized as a neglected tropical disease by the World Health Organization. The parasite spreads through consumption of undercooked meat, contaminated water, and cat feces, posing a greater risk in communities lacking adequate healthcare and sanitation. Researchers emphasize that official acknowledgment will help bolster prevention and treatment efforts and encourage cross-sector collaboration to reduce its spread.
