Like Toxoplasmosis it is normally passed on through faeces this is confirmed as there is a high infection rate in dairy cows and they don't eat meat. There are reports that this can be passed on through raw meat but there is little actual research that confirms this.
Yep I agree I had realised that because of the name, but it was a raw feeding website which spoke specifically about feeding raw mince to cats.

I have so many times and on so many websites that all mince should be frozen before feeding to cats to kill any potential micro-organisms. But if people are serious about raw feeding then they can read this for themselves when they research.
