| toxoplasma gondii antibodies in wild rodents and marsupials from the atlantic forest, state of são paulo, brazil. | toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that infects a large spectrum of warm-blooded animals, including humans. small rodents and marsupials play an important role in the epidemiology of t. gondii because they are sources of infection for domestic and feral cats. serum samples from 151 rodents and 48 marsupials, captured in the atlantic forest, são paulo state, southeastern brazil, were analyzed for the presence of t. gondii antibodies. antibodies detected by the modified agglutination test ( ... | 2015 | 26444068 |
| isolation and genetic characterisation of toxoplasma gondii from a red-handed howler monkey (alouatta belzebul), a jaguarundi (puma yagouaroundi), and a black-eared opossum (didelphis aurita) from brazil. | toxoplasma gondii isolates are highly diverse in domestic animals from brazil. however, little is known about the genetics of this parasite from wild mammals in the same region. reveal genetic similarity or difference of t. gondii among different animal populations is necessary for us to understand transmission of this parasite. here we reported isolation and genetic characterisation of three t. gondii isolates from wild animals in brazil. the parasite was isolated by bioassay in mice from tissu ... | 2010 | 21055880 |
