Toxoplasmosis, a protozoan infection, may be contracted through handling cat stool in soil or cat litter. Removing a cat from the home during pregnancy as a means of prevention is not necessary as long as the cat is healthy. The pregnant woman should be instructed not to change a cat litter box or garden in soil in an area where cats may defecate to avoid exposure to the disease. Cleaning the cat's dish is acceptable.
Scratches do not cause the disease.
