Worms
The parasite commonly transmitted from animals to humans through contact with contaminated feces is Toxoplasma gondii. This parasite can be found in the feces of infected cats and can be acquired by humans through contact with contaminated soil or unwashed vegetables. It can lead to toxoplasmosis, a disease that can be especially harmful to pregnant women and individuals with weakened immune systems.

Trypanosoma cruzi is transmitted to humans primarily through the bite of infected triatomine bugs, known as kissing bugs. These insects typically feed on blood at night and can deposit the parasite in their feces near the bite wound. Ingesting food or water contaminated with feces containing T. cruzi can also lead to infection.
Chickenpox is not transmitted by any feces, including human feces. Only humans and a few primates get chickenpox.
It usually is transmitted directly to humans from birds in their saliva or feces. It is very rare to begin with in humans and only rarely is transmitted from human to human. Birds transmit it to each other in feces and saliva and direct contact.
The larvae of the Baylisascaris procyonis roundworm, which can be contained in the feces of raccoons, can be transmitted to humans and pets and can be dangerous.
Yes. The parasites are usually transmitted to humans via animal feces.
Toxoplasma gondii is a parasitic protozoan that can infect most species of warm-blooded animals, including humans. It is commonly found in cat feces and can be transmitted to humans through ingestion of contaminated food or water. In healthy individuals, infection is usually asymptomatic, but it can cause severe illness in pregnant women and individuals with weakened immune systems.
The Baylisascaris procyonis roundworm may release eggs in the feces of raccoons which can then infect humans or other animals, sometimes causing a very serious condition.
nounPathology.an infection caused by parasitic flukes of the genus Schistosoma, occurring commonly in eastern Asia and in tropical regions and transmitted to humans through feces-contaminated fresh water or snails: symptoms commonly include pain, anemia, and malfunction of the infected organ.
