Detection of Toxoplasma gondii DNA by polymerase chain reaction in experimentally desiccated tissues
1 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
Despite toxoplasmosis being a common infection among human and other warm-blooded animals worldwide, there are no findings about Toxoplasma gondii evolutionary forms in ancient populations. The molecular techniques used for amplification of genetic material have allowed recovery of ancient DNA (aDNA) from parasites contained in mummified tissues. The application of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to...
