This is not quite clear to me. How does the parasite benefit from rats
going to areas in which cats have urinated?
If the parasite can survive in rats, why would there be a need for
infected rats to be killed by cats? This is the only means by which I
can imagine some benefit to the parasite, that is, a chance to infect
more cats. Is the rat not as good a host? Its not clear.
Also not clear is what benefit to the parasite human infestation might
yield.
The information is very interesting, but some key details are missing I
think. I can't quite follow it. Can anyone clarify?
