Detection of<i>Toxoplasma gondii</i>DNA by qPCR in the feces of a cat that recently ingested infected prey does not necessarily imply oocyst shedding
1 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
Detection of Toxoplasma gondii DNA in cat feces is considered indicative of the presence of T. gondii oocysts. This study aims to demonstrate that the high sensitivity of qPCR can lead to T. gondii DNA detection in cat feces in the absence of oocysts. A cat immune to toxoplasmosis was fed with a mouse experimentally infected with T. gondii. Detection of DNA of this parasite was performed by qPCR on feces passed:...
