Factors associated with Toxoplasma gondii infection in confined farrow-to-finish pig herds in western France: an exploratory study in 60 herds
(Biomed Central Ltd, London, 2016)
Background: Infection by Toxoplasma gondii postnatally can occur after ingestion of contaminated meat or water (tissue cysts/oocysts). In Europe, percentage of meat borne infections is estimated between 30 and 63 %, out ...
Toxoplasma gondii genotypes circulating in domestic pigs in Serbia
(Akademiai Kiado Zrt, Budapest, 2019)
Consumption of undercooked or raw pork is considered a significant risk factor for human infection with Toxoplasma gondii. In this study, we investigated the genetic structure of 18 T. gondii strains obtained from slaughter ...
Experimental infection with Toxoplasma gondii in broiler chickens (Gallus domesticus): seroconversion, tissue cyst distribution, and prophylaxis
(Springer, New York, 2021)
Toxoplasma gondii is a widespread zoonotic protozoan that infects most species of mammals and birds, including poultry. This study aimed to investigate the course of T. gondii infection and the efficacy of diclazuril and ...
Toxoplasmosis: Overview from a One Health perspective
(Food & Waterborne Parasitology, 2019)
Toxoplasmosis is paradigmatic of the One Health approach, as the causative parasite Toxoplasma gondii infects virtually all warm-blooded animals, including humans. This makes T. gondii one of the most successful parasites ...
Stage conversion of Toxoplasma gondii RH parasites in mice by treatment with atovaquone and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2005)
The mouse-virulent RH strain of Toxoplasma gondii is generally considered to have lost its cyst-forming capacity, and conversion of RH tachyzoites into cysts in non-immune mice has previously been shown exclusively following ...
Detection and genotyping of Toxoplasma gondii in wild canids in Serbia
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2019)
To gain insight into the population structure of the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii in wildlife in Serbia, multiplex nested PCR- RFLP was performed on T. gondii DNA positive samples of heart tissue of three wild canid ...
Animal reservoirs of Toxoplasma gondii : An update in France / Animaux réservoirs de Toxoplasma gondii: état des lieux en France
(Revue Francophone des Laboratoires, 2015)
Toxoplasmosis is a disease widely distributed throughout the world. It is caused by Toxoplasma gondii, a protozoan parasite, having the Felidae as final host (the cat) and warm-blooded vertebrates as intermediate hosts. ...
Cross-sectional survey on Toxoplasma gondii infection in cattle, sheep and pigs in Serbia: Seroprevalence and risk factors
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2006)
Toxoplasmosis is a globally distributed zoonosis with a clinical impact in the unborn fetus and in the immunosuppressed individual. In Serbia, studies of risk factors for Toxoplasma gondii infection in humans have shown ...
Mini-FLOTAC for counting Toxoplasma gondii oocysts from cat feces - Comparison with cell counting plates
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2014)
Oocysts of Toxoplasma gondii represent one of the most common environmental contaminants causing the zoonotic infection toxoplasmosis. The aim of the present study was to compare the Mini-FLOTAC device with traditional ...
Spatial epidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii infection in goats in Serbia
(Univ Naples Federico Ii, Naples, 2014)
A major risk factor for Toxoplasma gondii infection is consumption of undercooked meat. Increasing demand for goat meat is likely to promote the role of this animal for human toxoplasmosis. As there are virtually no data ...
