Study: Cat Parasite Could Damage Vision
A study warns that up to one-third of the world's population may be infected with toxoplasmosis, a disease transmitted by cats that can cause eye inflammation and permanent vision loss. The disease remains one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide, despite receiving limited attention. Researchers suggest that the World Health Organization should recognize it as a neglected tropical disease to increase funding and develop prevention and control strategies. Transmission of the disease includes consuming undercooked meat, contaminated water, and exposure to cat feces, highlighting the importance of integrating veterinary and health efforts to prevent its spread.
