Toxoplasma gondii infection in domestic and wild felids as public health concerns: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Felidae as definitive hosts for Toxoplasma gondii play a major role in transmission to all warm-blooded animals trough oocysts dissemination. Therefore the current comprehensive study was performed to determine the global status of T. gondii infection in domestic and wild felids aiming to p...
