Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite of the protozoan group and is obligate parasite with definitive host is a cat and other family felidae, Toxoplasma gondii can cause Toxoplasmosis and is categorized as one of zoonotic diseases. This study aims to determine the Toxoplasma gondii infection in domestic cats (Felis domesticus) in the traditional markets of Sawahan sub-district, Surabaya City. This study used a faecal sample of 46 domestic cats in the traditional markets of the Sawahan sub-district consisting of  20  female cats, 10 male cats, and 16 kittens. Then examined at the Laboratory of Parasitology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Wijaya Kusuma University. The examination was carried out by the native method  using eosin 2% and the floating method using saturated sugar and observed under a microscope with a magnification of 100x-400x. The results showed there were no cats infected with Toxoplasma gondii but found 3 endoparasites namely Ancylostoma sp 23.9%, Toxocara cati 41.3% and Isospora rivolta 4.3%.

The prevalence of allergies to domestic animals increases due to the increase in the number of pets worldwide, followed by serious medical and social problems. Domestic cat (Felis domesticus) is one of the most common pets and one of the most frequent (after dust mite) source of indoor allergens and risk factor for bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis. This review collects relevant information on the issues of hypersensitivity to cat allergens (the term «cat allergy» will be used later). The authors consider issues of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of this condition. Special attention is given to the management of patients with cat allergies and particularly usage of special nutrition for cats that can reduce the level of the main cat allergen Fel d 1 in the environment. Whereas, this leads to decrease of allergic diseases symptoms severity.

Los felinos domésticos comparten el ambiente doméstico con el hombre y tienen condiciones que los hacen especialmente sensibles a compuestos genotóxicos, por lo que son buenos candidatos como bioindicadores en el biomonitoreo de ambientes domésticos. El objetivo del estudio fue aplicar el ensayo de micronúcleos en eritrocitos de gatos domésticos (Felis domesticus) y evaluarlos mediante las coloraciones de Giemsa y naranja de acridina (NA) fluorescente realizada en forma secuencial, para identificar la más adecuada para esta especie. Se aplicó el ensayo de micronúcleos en eritrocitos de sangre periférica de gatos domésticos adultos, con y sin signos de enfermedad (total=24). Las frecuencias de micronúcleos detectadas con NA fueron 2 a 10 veces superiores que las registradas con Giemsa (p<0.0001), sin diferencias por factor edad o estado sanitario. Se hipotetiza que la coloración con NA permitió la detección de micronúcleos de menor tamaño que el análisis en Giemsa. La frecuencia de micronúcleos observada propone la utilización del gato doméstico para realizar biomonitoreos sobre el efecto de genotóxicos ambientales.
