Abstract: Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic protozoan parasite with a worldwide distribution. Felids are the definitive hosts, excreting oocysts in faeces to the environment. Humans and virtually all warm-­-blooded species can become infected by several routes of transmission. Water-­-borne transmission may play an important role in the epidemiology of this parasite. The objective of this study was to assess the importance of this way of transmission analyzing the infection of T. gondii in the American mink (Neovison vison), a widely distributed invasive species in freshwater ecosystems in Spain.
