As far as I know it is only cat and even that can be prevented with a medical face mask and rubber cloves while cleaning but just to be sure call and talk to your vet to make sure.

dog's do not transmit this parasite. not only can you get it from cat feces, but you can also get it from handling raw meat. Also if you garden, remember a cat may have defacated in the garden so wash hand well.

How about having your partner take charge of changing the litter box and scooping poop from the yard while you are pregnant?
