ABSTRACT:
A method of preventing, or at least substantially minimizing, shedding of Toxoplasma oocysts by cats is described which can be begun after infection of the cat and may serve to reduce the contamination with infectious oocysts of soils around areas of human habitation. The method involves administration, in effective amounts of a drug agent selected from the group consisting of monensin or salinomycin. The administration is preferably oral, and can be accomplished by mixing the drug with the cat's food or via a slow release dosage form. The drug treatment is normally commenced within about two days after infection, and is continued for a period of at least about two weeks.
