Characterization of ROP18 alleles in human toxoplasmosis.

Parasitology international - 1 Apr 2014

Sánchez Víctor, de-la-Torre Alejandra, Gómez-Marín Jorge Enrique

Abstract excerpt

The role of the virulent gene ROP18 polymorphisms is not known in human toxoplasmosis. A total of 320 clinical samples were analyzed. In samples positive for ROP18 gene, we determined by an allele specific PCR, if patients got the upstream insertion positive ROP18 sequence Toxoplasma strain (mouse avirulent strain) or the upstream insertion negative ROP18 sequence Toxoplasma strain (mouse virulent strain). We...
