Abstract excerpt
Consumption of raw or undercooked meat is a major route of transmission of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) to humans worldwide. This study aimed to develop and evaluate high-resolution melting (HRM) assays targeting two novel polymorphic regions of the rhoptry protein 18 (ROP18) gene (106-bp and 125-bp) for genotyping T. gondii in meat products, in comparison with the B1 and ROP5 genes. A total of 64 samples,...
