Description
Isabel de Velasco-Reyes and co-authors published this 2026 serology study on a cat-borne parasite among veterinary workers and students in Aguascalientes, Mexico. Toxoplasma gondii infects through food, soil, and the feces of its feline hosts, and people who handle animals daily sit in the splash zone. Blood from 153 healthy volunteers, 70 veterinarians and 83 students, was tested for antibodies.
Overall 7.8 percent carried antibodies, marking past infection. Veterinarians ran higher at 11.4 percent against 4.8 percent for students, though the gap was not statistically firm. Questionnaires on cat contact and habits let the team probe which exposures track with infection. The authors frame the survey as an occupational health baseline for a group rarely screened.
