متن کاملAgricultural landscape and spatial distribution of Toxoplasma gondii in rural environment: an agent-based model
BACKGROUND Predicting the spatial distribution of pathogens with an environmental stage is challenging because of the difficulty to detect them in environmental samples. Among these pathogens, the parasite Toxoplasma gondii is the causative agent of the zoonosis toxoplasmosis, which is responsible for public health issues. Oocysts of T. gondii are excreted by infected cats in the environment, w...
