| prevalence of toxoplasma gondii infection in wild birds in durango, mexico. | abstract there is a lack of information concerning the prevalence of toxoplasma gondii infection in wild birds in mexico. in the present study serum samples and tissues from 653 birds from durango state, mexico were evaluated for t. gondii infection. antibodies to t. gondii (modified agglutination test, mat, titer 1:25 or higher) were found in 17 (2.6%) of the 653 birds including 1 of 2 curve-billed thrashers (toxostoma curvirostre), 2 (1 anas platyrhynchos, 1 anas diazi) of 4 ducks, 1 of 2 eagl ... | 2011 | 21612413 |
| first genetic characterization of toxoplasma gondii infection in common quails (coturnix coturnix) intended for human consumption in china. | toxoplasma gondii is widely distributed in humans and other animals including birds throughout the world. however, little is known of the molecular epidemiology and genotypes of t. gondii infecting quails in china. therefore, the present study was conducted to characterize t. gondii genotypes in common quails in china. during december 2014 to october 2015, a total of 390 muscle tissue samples of common quails were collected and the t. gondii b1 gene was amplified using a nested pcr, and the posi ... | 2017 | 28043887 |
