On 1994 in Cuenca city a study was made for the detection of antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii in felines, resulting in 44.5% of positive cats. Over time cats have became the ideal mascot due to their space, behavior and feeding characteristics.

Results found will allow us to have an updated vision of the serum prevalence of toxoplasmosis. Data obtain on this investigation are minor to the ones obtain two decades ago, due to the increase of awareness acquired on handling, feeding and hygiene by the owners of feline pets which is determining for the development of the disease, also a bigger influx to veterinary centers for before and after information of a recent acquisition or adoption of a cat. |
