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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Effectiveness of spiramycin in murine models of acute and chronic toxoplasmosis
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2005)
The antitoxoplasmic activity of spiramycin (SPI) was evaluated in murine models of infection using a type-1 (RH) or type-2 (Me49) strain of Toxoplasma gondii. In mice infected with 10(2) tachyzoites of the RH strain, ...
A human origin type II strain of Toxoplasma gondii causing severe encephalitis in mice
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2006)
Despite its capacity for sexual reproduction and global distribution, Toxoplasma gondii has a highly clonal structure, with the majority of isolates belonging to three distinct clonal types. Congenital toxoplasmosis has ...
In Vivo and In Vitro Virulence Analysis of Four Genetically Distinct Toxoplasma gondii Lineage III Isolates
(MDPI, Basel, 2020)
Toxoplasma gondii archetypes II and III are mildly virulent, yet virulence of variant strains is largely unknown. While lineage II dominates in humans in Europe, lineage III strains are present in various intermediate ...
Comparison of a commercial ELISA with the modified agglutination test for the detection of Toxoplasma gondii infection in naturally exposed sheep
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2007)
Surprisingly few commercial ELISAs are available for the detection of Toxoplasma gondii infection in animals, and none for use in sheep have been evaluated. We thus compared the Bommeli Diagnostics ELISA Toxotest for the ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
