Subject: [ferrethealth] toxoplasmosis increase in the NW and possible causes and indirect routes of infection
To: fhl <ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com>, FML List <ferret-l@LISTSERV.FERRETMAILINGLIST.ORG>
Although the article does not mention ferrets or bears those two types of animals -- like otters -- can get but so far can not transmit Toxoplasma (continuing apologies to Karen P for my getting something wrong on that score in relation to bears n PA years back when she spoke). See past FHL posts on this in the separate FHL archives and FML Archives. (The URL of each is in my sig lines, and the FML Archives URL is always in the FML's header, while the FHL Archives can be linked to from multiple places on the FHL homepage.) Of course, all the species mentioned can also get it from cat feces directly. (BTW, the actress, Betty White, paid in full for a study on sea otters in the past through the Morris Animal Foundation to better understand this; I do not know if she paid for this one, too, but it would not surprise me. She does good in this world.)
