Cati are gastrointestinal parasites of dogs and cats and their eggs can contaminate the environment, thus exposing humans and other mammals and birds to infection. Many questions remain about the host-parasite relationship, it's epidemiology and public health significance. Veterinarians and clinicians are interested in its importance as a zoonosis and the parasite's capacity to enter the human eyes is of concern to opthamologists.
