The Auburn University study found that cats allowed to roam freely outdoors are 2.77 times more likely to have parasitic infections than indoor-only cats.<\/p>\n<p>The study, \u201cWho let the cats out: A meta-analysis on risk of parasitic infection in indoor versus outdoor domestic cats (<em>Felis Catus<\/em>),\u201d appeared in <a href=\"https:\/\/royalsocietypublishing.org\/doi\/10.1098\/rsbl.2018.0840\"><em>Biology Letters<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Kayleigh Chalkowski, a doctoral student in the School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, led the study.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was pretty excited,\u201d Chalkowski said. \u201cAcademic research is frustrating sometimes. You stare at a computer screen and work through coding errors and data streamlining issues for hours on end, and it feels like the work, in some parts of the process, isn&#8217;t going to have any real impact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m very happy to know that my research is getting out there, but even more so the important message that cats\u2014even a pet cat at home\u2014can serve as a parasite reservoir and threaten human and wildlife health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chalkowski\u2019s co-authors were Associate Professor Sarah Zohdy and Professor Christopher Lepczyk, her advisors at the School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, and Associate Professor Alan E. Wilson of the School of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Aquatic Sciences.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson is also pleased with the paper\u2019s international impact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the best part of this is that it\u2019s a student project,\u201d he said. \u201cTo take a project, publish it and then have so much interest around the world\u2014I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen a student publish a paper that\u2019s had an impact so quickly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat has really blown me away, and I hope Kayleigh is enjoying this. What she showed in her data really resonates with people. People are crazy about their animals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chalkowski said the group sought to quantify the effect of parasitic infection in indoor cats as compared to outdoor cats because of the potential of pet cats to transmit parasites to humans and surrounding wildlife. The research is the first of its kind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCats are an underappreciated reservoir of infectious pathogens, and we saw a useful dichotomy in cat ownership\u2014free-roaming outdoor access vs indoor-only\u2014that we thought is important to quantify,\u201d Chalkowski said. \u201cAlthough it\u2019s widely understood that keeping cats indoors prevents other obvious risks like getting run over by cars, the effect of indoor\/outdoor on parasitic infection hadn&#8217;t been quantified yet on a broad scale of geographic locales and pathogen types.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences Dean Janaki Alavalapati said the international attention the study has garnered is significant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause this research addresses aspects of a commonly debated topic, it can serve as a guide for cat owners who may not have realized the serious health risks inherent in allowing their cats to roam outdoors,\u201d Alavalapati said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis meta-analysis is part of an ongoing study that is likely to yield even more insights on this subject.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>LEARN MORE<\/h3>\n<p>Need help in identifying parasites in cats and dogs?
