Molecular and virulence characterization of Toxoplasma gondii strains isolated from humans in Portugal.

Parasitology research - 1 Mar 2017

Vilares Anabela, Gargaté Maria João, Ferreira Idalina, Martins Susana, Gomes João Paulo

Abstract excerpt

Toxoplasma gondii is an apicomplexan parasite responsible for toxoplasmosis which infects all warm-blooded vertebrates, including mammals and birds. The majority of studies conducted in Europe have revealed that more than 80 % of strains isolated from human infections belong to genotype II, whereas genotypes I and III are responsible for a small number of cases. Atypical and recombinant strains are generally...
