Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Toxoplasma gondii is a major cause of abortion in small ruminants and presents a zoonotic risk when undercooked meat containing cysts is consumed. The aim of the present study was to investigate the genetic diversity among the T. gondii strains circulating in ovine livestock in Spain. METHODS: Selected samples collected from abortion outbreaks due to toxoplasmosis (n = 31) and from chronically...
