Genetic Resistance against Acute Toxoplasmosis Depends on the Strain of Toxoplasma gondii
1 Dec 1995
Abstract excerpt
The role of the strain of Toxoplasma gondii in genetic control of resistance against acute infection with T. gondii was studied with 2 strains of T. gondii, which differ in their virulence and genotype. Following peroral infection with 10 cysts of the C56 strain, C57BL/6 (H-2b) and C3H/HeN (H-2k) mice died significantly earlier than BALB/c mice (H-2d) mice, although all of the mice eventually died of acute...
