Abstract excerpt
Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) at eight independent loci was used to determine the types (I, II or III) lineage of 20 Toxoplasma gondii strains isolated from humans and animals in Brazil. RH (type I, highly virulent), ME49 (type II, avirulent) and VEG (type III, avirulent) were used as reference strains. Differently from expected frequencies, all Brazilian strains...
