Lafferty started out believing from review of previous published literature that «infectious disease was preventing the recovery of sea otters, and the most likely source of infection of Toxoplasma gondii was terrestrial runoff containing oocysts defecated by cats,» but when he and colleagues tagged 135 California sea otters in 2009 and followed them for four years, they found that «Counter to expectations, sea otters from unpopulated stretches of coastline,» around Big Sur, are less healthy and more exposed to parasites than city - associated otters,» from the Monterey Bay area, who have more exposure to fecal matter from cats.

Recommendations include: keep your cat indoors; always cover its litter box when not in use; change the cat's litter daily (T. gondii does not become infectious until 1 to 5 days after it is shed in feces); avoid feeding cats raw or undercooked meat; wash your hands after gardening; and wash fruits and vegetables from the garden.
