The prevalence of intestinal and blood-borne parasites in domestic cats is
concerning. These parasites not only compromise the health of cats, leading
to symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, anemia, and skin irritation, but
they can also be transmitted to humans. For example, Toxocara larvae can
cause toxocariasis in humans, while Felicola lice can cause itching and
irritation. These findings underscore the need for proper parasite
management and preventive measures to protect both cats and humans.
