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 ...
Hematopoiesis during acute Toxoplasma gondii infection in mice
(Vsp Bv, Leiden, 2002)
We studied hematopoiesis in bone marrow and blood of CBA mice following infection with Toxoplasma gondii. Our data showed that acute infection with the virulent RH strain was associated with leucopenia, thrombocytopenia ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
