Risk factors for Toxoplasma gondii infection in the United States.

13 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Toxoplasmosis can cause severe ocular and neurological disease. We sought to determine risk factors for Toxoplasma gondii infection in the United States. METHODS: We conducted a case-control study of adults recently infected with T. ... Read more...

Toxoplasma gondii: Evidence for the transmission by semen in dogs.

17 Jul 2009 Ten male dogs were distributed into three experimental groups for infection with Toxoplasma gondii: GI - three dogs inoculated with 2.0x10(5) P strais oocysts, GII - three dogs infected with 1.0x10(6) RH strain tachyzoites, and GIII - four controls ... Read more...

Evaluation of Toxoplasma gondii placental transmission in BALB/c mice model.

25 Jun 2009 Toxoplasma gondii infection is common worldwide and highly important to pregnant women as it can be transmitted to the fetus via the placenta. This study aimed at evaluating the prevention of placental transmission in two different strains after ... Read more...
