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 ...
Risk factors for toxoplasma infection in pregnant women in FYR of Macedonia
(EDP Sciences S A, Les Ulis Cedex A, 2010)
The aim of the study was to identify risk factors for Toxoplasma gondii infection in pregnant women in FYR of Macedonia. Retrospective analysis of serological and epidemiological data in a series of 235 pregnant women from ...
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 ...
Toxoplasma gondii in beef consumed in France: Regional variation in seroprevalence and parasite isolation
(EDP Sciences, 2019)
In France, the consumption of cattle and sheep meat appears to be a risk factor for infection of pregnant women with Toxoplasma gondii. Several nation-wide surveys in France have investigated the prevalence of T. gondii ...
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 ...
Effect of refrigeration and freezing on survival of Toxoplasma gandii tissue cysts / Preživljavanje tkivnih cista Toxoplasma gondii na niskim temperaturama
(Univerzitet u Beogradu - Fakultet veterinarske medicine, Beograd, 2000)
Ingestion of Toxoplasma gondii tissue cysts is a major route of infection with this parasite in nature. The viability of brain cysts of the Me49 strain of T. gondii after storage at the usual refrigerator and freezer ...
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 ...
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 ...
Identification of risk factors for toxoplasma gondii infection in serbia as a basis of a program for prevention of congenital toxoplasmosis / Identifikacija faktora rizika za infekciju parazitom toxoplasma gondii u Srbiji kao osnov programa prevencije kongenitalne toksoplazmoze
(Srpsko lekarsko društvo, Beograd, 2003)
Background: Toxoplasmosis has long been known as a major cause of perinatal morbidity. Acute infection in pregnancy may lead to fetal infection and subsequent fetal loss or birth of a manifestly or latently infected infant. ...
Structural Characterization of Toxoplasma gondii Brain Cysts in a Model of Reactivated Toxoplasmosis Using Computational Image Analysis
(Basel, Switzerland : Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024)
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite existing in three infectious life stages—tachyzoites, bradyzoites, and sporozoites. Rupture of tissue cysts and re-conversion of bradyzoites to tachyzoites leads to ...
