Latex agglutination test for detection of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii.
A resurgence of interest in Toxoplasma gondii has occurred because this coccidian parasite causes lethal infections in immunologically compromised hosts and is responsible for at least 3,000 congenitally infected infants in the United States annually. Thus, rapid, specific, and inexpensive serologic tests are required for routine screening of patients, especially pregnant women. We have develop...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical demonstration of Toxoplasma gondii.
A peroxidase-antiperoxidase method that demonstrates both free and encysted toxoplasmata in routinely prepared histologic sections is described. This technic and ultrastructural study were employed to confirm the presence of Toxoplasma gondii in the infected tissues of an immunosuppressed patient who had postmortem examination. An immunohistochemical method may be an aid in the diagnosis of tox...

nineteen lymph node biopsies, 3 curetting, 15 blood samples obtained from patients with lymphadenitis and high titers of toxoplasma antibodies, and 27 tonsillar tissues removed from patients because of chronic tonsillitis were inoculated intraperitoneally into mice for isolation of toxoplasma gondii. toxoplasms were isolated from 5 lymph node biopsies, one curettage material, 2 tonsillar tissue...
متن کاملSeroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in Sheep from Nevşehir Province inTurkey.
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) in sheep from Nevşehir Province in Turkey. METHODS Blood samples were taken from 180 sheep aged between 1 and 7 years, which were randomly selected from seven different study sites in Nevşehir Province. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of antibodies to T. gond...
متن کاملLatex agglutination test based prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in native Korean cattle
The prevalence of Toxoplasma (T.) gondii was surveyed using a latex agglutination test (LAT) in native Korean cattle. A blood sample was collected from female 105 cattle in the Daejeon area of Korea. All cattle were asymptomatic and had not received any prophylactic treatment for T. gondii. Blood samples were collected via the caudal vein. The cattle ranged in age from 2~6 years (mean 3.7 years...
