isolation and genetic characterization of toxoplasma gondii from raccoons (procyon lotor), cats (felis domesticus), striped skunk (mephitis mephitis), black bear (ursus americanus), and cougar (puma concolor) from canada.viable toxoplasma gondii was isolated by bioassay in mice from tissues of 2 feral cats (felis domesticus), 2 raccoons (procyon lotor), a skunk (mephitis mephitis) trapped in remote locations in manitoba, canada, and a black bear (ursus americanus) from kuujjuaq, northern quebec, canada. genotyping of these t. gondii isolates using polymorphisms at 10 nuclear markers including sagi, sag2, sag3, btub, gra6, c22-8, c29-2, l358, pk1, and an apicoplast marker apico revealed 4 genotypes. none of the i ...200818372620
prevalence of antibodies to neospora caninum, sarcocystis neurona, and toxoplasma gondii in wild horses from central wyoming.sarcocystis neurona, neospora caninum, n. hughesi, and toxoplasma gondii are 4 related coccidians considered to be associated with encephalomyelitis in horses. the source of infection for n. hughesi is unknown, whereas opossums, dogs, and cats are the definitive hosts for s. neurona, n. caninum, and t. gondii, respectively. seroprevalence of these coccidians in 276 wild horses from central wyoming outside the known range of the opossum (didelphis virginiana) was determined. antibodies to t. gond ...200314533680
seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii in mesocarnivores of the canadian prairies.the protozoon toxoplasma gondii has a worldwide distribution and affects many species of warm-blooded animals. in the canadian prairies, mesocarnivores such as striped skunks (mephitis mephitis) and raccoons (procyon lotor) have experienced an increase in density and distribution, and they are in close contact with human dwellings. however, there has been no systematic study on the seroprevalence of t. gondii in these mesocarnivore populations. the objectives of the current project were to deter ...200718314682
