| seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii in rats in southern china. | toxoplasma gondii is widely distributed in humans and other animals, including wild rats throughout the world, but little is known of the prevalence of t. gondii in rats in china. the seroprevalence of t. gondii in rats ( rattus norvegicus and rattus flavipectus ) was investigated in guangzhou, southern china, between november 2009 and january 2010. in total, 217 rat serum samples were collected; antibodies to t. gondii were detected by the modified agglutination test (mat), and 7 (3.2%) were fo ... | 2010 | 21158644 |
| toxoplasma gondii prevalence in food animals and rodents in different regions of china: isolation, genotyping and mouse pathogenicity. | recent studies of toxoplasma gondii isolates from animals in different regions of china have shown a limited genetic diversity and type china 1 was the dominant genotype of t. gondii prevalent in chinese animals. however, little has been known concerning the isolation and genotyping of t. gondii circulating in chickens, pigs and rodents in china. the aim of the study was to characterize samples of t. gondii isolates obtained from naturally infected cats, pigs and free-range chickens slaughtered ... | 2013 | 24330536 |
