isolation of toxoplasma gondii from human tissues

چکیده
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 tissues and none of the blood samples.

Isolation of viable Toxoplasma gondii from tissues and feces of cats from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Cats are important in the epidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii because they are the only hosts that excrete environmentally resistant oocysts in feces. In the present study, hearts, serum, and feces from 36 feral cats from Addis Ababa area, Ethiopia, were examined for T. gondii infection. Antibodies to T. gondii were determined with the modified agglutination test (MAT, cutoff 1:25); 33 cats were ...
متن کاملIsolation of Toxoplasma gondii from goats from Brazil.
Goats are economically important in many countries, and little is known of caprine toxoplasmosis in Brazil. Antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii were assayed in the sera of 143 goats from 3 Brazilian states, using modified agglutination test (MAT titer > or = 1:25); 46 (32.2%) tested positive. Samples of brain, heart, diaphragm, and masseter of seropositive animals were pooled, digested in pepsin, a...
متن کاملIsolation of purified oocyst walls and sporocysts from Toxoplasma gondii.
Toxoplasma gondii oocysts are environmentally resistant and can infect virtually all warm-blooded hosts, including humans and livestock. Little is known about the biochemical basis for this resistance of oocysts, and mechanism for excystation of T. gondii sporozoites. The objective of the present study was to evaluate different methods (mechanical fragmentation, gradients, flow cytometry) to se...
متن کاملIsolation and preservation of Toxoplasma gondii.
Thirteen isolations of Toxoplasma gondii were made from 110 specimens of various human tissues and tissue fluids. Twelve of these were from lymph nodes and one from a specimen of cerebrospinal fluid; all isolations were from cases with dye test titres of 1/512 or more. A description of the deep freeze method used to preserve the T. gondii strains isolated is included. It is hoped that attempts ...
متن کاملDetection of Toxoplasma gondii DNA in Malignant Breast Tissues in Breast Cancer Patients
Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy in women throughout the world. Similar to other cancers, a strong relationship between breast cancer and environmental factors such as infectious agents has been reported. Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite which may play a role in cancer induction. The present study aimed to investigate a possible association between a history of T. gondii ...
متن کاملIsolation and Genotyping of Toxoplasma gondii in Brazilian Dogs
Strains of Toxoplasma gondii in Brazil are highly genetically diverse compared to strains from North America and Europe. Dogs are epidemiologically important because they act as sentinels for T. gondii infections in humans and are good indicators of environmental contamination. The aim of this study was to isolate and genetically characterize T. gondii strains from tissues of naturally infected...
