Question

multiple choice question
emptying the litter of an infected cat puts a pregnant woman at risk of contracting:
○ gestational diabetes
○ toxoplasmosis
○ rubella
○ cat scratch fever

Explanation:

Toxoplasmosis is caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which can be present in the feces of infected cats. Pregnant women who handle an infected cat's litter box can ingest the parasite, putting them at risk of contracting toxoplasmosis. Gestational diabetes is a pregnancy-related blood sugar condition not linked to cat litter. Rubella is a viral infection spread via respiratory droplets, not cat feces. Cat scratch fever is transmitted via cat scratches/bites, not litter box contact.

Answer:

C. toxoplasmosis
