Genetic Divergence of Toxoplasma gondii Strains Associated with Ocular Toxoplasmosis, Brazil

Genetic Divergence of Toxoplasma gondii Strains Associated with Ocular Toxoplasmosis, Brazil

Previous studies have shown a high prevalence of toxoplasmosis and the frequent occurrence of ocular disease in Brazil. To identify the genotypes of parasite strains associated with ocular disease, we compared 25 clinical and animal isolates of Toxoplasma gondii from Brazil to previously characteriz...
