[4] Jitender Dubey has spent over 30 years working for the United States Federal Government.

[2] Dubey is most associated with the discovery of how the parasite Toxoplasma gondii is transmitted to humans and animals through cat feces and consumption of undercooked, infected meat.

[9] He discovered that Toxoplasma gondii can be carried by cats and they can release the parasite's eggs (oocysts) through their feces and causes birth defects and vision loss in humans and miscarriage in livestock.

[6] In 2010, Dubey was inducted into the Agricultural Research Service Science Hall of Fame for his discovery that Toxoplasma gondii can be carried by cats.

[10] Dubey was the first recipient of the William C. Campbell One-Health Award from the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists in 2018.
