Toxoplasma gondii
4.2. Epidemiology of T. gondii in the wild Transmission of T. gondii can occur in a wide variety of ways, including oral (carnivorism), faeco-oral and transplacental transmission. In felids, ingestion of tissue cysts from intermediate hosts is the most efficient route of transmission (Dubey, 2006)....

Although no studies have been carried out in Switzerland on T. gondii infections on the main lynx prey yet, its occurrence in roe deer and chamois was demonstrated in Italy and France by high seroprevalences of 13–43.7% and 3.8–16.8%, respectively (Gaffuri et al., 2006; Gotteland et al., 2014; Crotta et al., 2022).
