posted on 2023-05-17, 14:47 authored by Scott CarverScott Carver, Scorza, AV, Bevins, SN, Riley, SPD, Crooks, KR, VandeWoude, S, Lappin, MRWe analyzed Lynx rufus fecal parasites from California and Colorado, hypothesizing that bobcats shed zoonotic parasites around human landscapes. Giardia duodenalis, Cryptosporidium, Ancylostoma, Uncinaria, and Toxocara cati were shed. Toxoplasma gondii serology demonstrated exposure. Giardia and Cryptosporidium shedding increased near large human populations. Genotyped Giardia may indicate indirect transmission with humans.
