Figure 2

Spatial distribution of Toxoplasma gondii oocysts carried to the ocean via freshwater runoff (light yellow to red shading).

The blue shading illustrates sea otter T. gondii seroprevalence from published field studies. Oocyst delivery patterns were simulated using linked GIS-based T. gondii oocyst loading and transport models (see additional detail in Methods) with 2010 California coastal land-use and human population data and 2011 water year precipitation data. All maps were created using ArcGIS software version 10.2 (ESRI; http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgis-for-desktop).
