| [seroepidemiology of toxoplasmosis on mayotte (comores archipelago)]. | a seroepidemiological survey of toxoplasmosis was carried out on mayotte island. detection of igg was performed on 871 samples from 509 females and 362 males by indirect immunofluorescence assay. using a cut-off value of 12 ui (1/16), 734 sera (84.3%) were found to be positive. assays for specific igm which were carried out only in positive subjects detected igm in 13 people (1.5%). comparison between different ethnic groups showed significantly higher rates of seroprevalence in villages with la ... | 1994 | 7746127 |
| [avidity of igg anti-toxoplasma gondii. study to establish a new decision tree for screening]. | toxoplasmosis infection is commonly asymptomatic, but it may have severe teratogenic consequences. the authors review the literature on serologic screening in the first trimester of pregnancy. | 2001 | 12471751 |
| biomedical evaluation of free-ranging ring-tailed lemurs (lemur catta) in three habitats at the beza mahafaly special reserve, madagascar. | complete physical examinations and biomedical sample collection were performed on 70 free-ranging ring-tailed lemurs (lemur catta) from three different habitats in the beza mahfaly special reserve (bmsr), in southern madagascar, to assess the impact of humans and habitat on lemur health. lemurs were chemically immobilized with ketamine and diazepam administered via blow darts for concurrent biomedical, morphometric, and behavioral studies. subsets of the animals had blood analyzed for hematology ... | 2007 | 17679503 |

| seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii in wild toque macaques (macaca sinica) at polonnaruwa, sri lanka. | from a natural population that inhabits the dry evergreen forest at polonnaruwa, serum samples of 170 toque macaques were examined for antibodies to toxoplasma gondii by the modified agglutination test. of these, 21 (12%) were found with titers of 1:16 in 9, 1:32 in 9, 1:256 in 1, 1:1,024 in 1, and 1:4,096 in 1. there was no evidence of maternal transmission of antibodies or congenital toxoplasmosis. none of the infected macaques died within 1 yr after sampling. toxoplasma gondii infection was c ... | 2004 | 15357087 |
| toxoplasma, toxocara and tuberculosis co-infection in a four year old child. | abstract: background: tuberculosis. toxocariasis and toxoplasmosis are among the common infectious causes of lymphadenitis in children. cases of toxoplasma gondii and toxocara spp co-infection have been reported. case presentation this case report describes a co-infection of toxoplasma gondii, toxocara spp and tuberculosis in a child with chronic lymphadenopathy and eosinophilia. conclusion: the case report highlights two important points. first is the diagnostic challenges that are encountered ... | 2011 | 21615887 |
| seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii in cats from colombo, sri lanka. | cats are essential in the life cycle of toxoplasma gondii because they are the only hosts that can excrete the environmentally resistant oocysts in nature. nothing is known of the prevalence of toxoplasma gondii in cats from sri lanka. serum samples from 86 cats from colombo, sri lanka, were tested for antibodies to t. gondii using the modified agglutination test; antibodies were found in 26 (30.2%) cats with titers of 1:25 in 4, 1:50 in 4, 1:100 in 3, 1:400 in 2, 1:800 in 3, 1:1,600 in 4, and 1 ... | 2010 | 21348625 |
| biomedical evaluation of black lemurs (eulemur macaco macaco) in lokobe reserve, madagascar. | complete medical evaluations were performed on 25 wild black lemurs (eulemur macaco macaco) in lokobe reserve, northwestern madagascar. each animal received a complete physical examination. weight, body temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate were recorded. blood samples were collected for complete blood cell count, differential white blood cell count, hemoparasite examination, serum biochemical profile, fat-soluble vitamin analysis, trace mineral analysis, and toxoplasma gondii and viral ... | 2007 | 17469278 |
| prevalence of toxoplasma gondii in dogs from sri lanka and genetic characterization of the parasite isolates. | the prevalence of toxoplasma gondii in 86 street dogs from sri lanka was determined. antibodies to t. gondii were assayed by the modified agglutination test (mat) and found in 58 (67.4%) of 86 dogs with titers of 1:20 in eight, 1:40 in four, 1:80 in 10, 1:160 in 22, 1:320 in six, 1:640 in five, and 1:1280 or higher in three. hearts, tongues, and brains (either separately or pooled) of 50 dogs with mat titers of 1:40 were selected for isolation of t. gondii by bioassays in mice. for bioassays, ca ... | 2007 | 17442491 |
| isolation and molecular characterization of toxoplasma gondii from chickens from sri lanka. | the prevalence of toxoplasma gondii in free-ranging chickens is a good indicator of the prevalence of t. gondii oocysts in the soil because chickens feed from the ground. the prevalence of t. gondii in 100 free-range chickens (gallus domesticus) from sri lanka was determined. antibodies to t. gondii were assayed by the modified agglutination test (mat). antibodies were found in 39 chickens with titers of 1:5 in 8, 1:10 in 8, 1:20 in 4, 1:40 in 5, 1:80 in 5, 1:160 in 5, 1:320 in 2, 1:640 or more ... | 2005 | 16539035 |
| seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii antibodies in captive elephants (elephaus maximus maximus) in sri lanka. | serum samples collected during august 2003-june 2004 from 45 privately owned captive and 8 elephants from the pinnawala elephant orphanage were tested for the presence of antibodies against toxoplasma gondii using the direct modified agglutination test (mat). antibodies were found in sera of 14 of 45 (32%) privately owned elephants with titers of 1:25 in three, 1:50 in three, 1:100 in three, 1:200 in three, and 1:400 in three elephants. the elephants from pinnawala elephant orphanage were serone ... | 2006 | 16414192 |
