A bobcat crossing the path of a remotely triggered field camera looks out over a coastal California marsh that connects to sea otter habitat. Environmental transmission of the globally distributed zoonotic parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, has caused severe illness in people and animals, including California sea otters. Wild and domestic felids shed hardy T. gondii oocysts, which can infect hosts in diverse terrestrial environments and be carried in freshwater runoff to aquatic systems. See VanWormer et al.
