Detection of Toxoplasma gondii by PCR and Mouse Bioassay in Rodents of Ahvaz District, Southwestern Iran
Toxoplasma gondii is obligate coccidian zoonotic parasite. Felidae family is definitive and wide ranges of warm-blooded vertebrates are intermediate hosts for the parasite. Rodents are measured as an important source of T. gondii infection for the definitive host. Thus, this study aimed to investigate Toxoplasm infection in rodents of Ahvaz district, southwest of Iran. A total of 100 rodents (7...
متن کاملGenotyping of Toxoplasma gondii from Rats (Rattus rattus) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Toxoplasma 3 main clonal lineages are designated as type I, II, and III; however, atypical and mixed genotypes were also reported. This study was conducted for detection of Toxoplasma gondii genotypes in rats (Rattus rattus) in Riyadh region, Saudi Arabia. PCR test on T. gondii B1 gene was conducted on ELISA IgM positive samples for confirmation of the infection. However, genetic analysis of th...
متن کاملa serological survey on leptospiral infection among wild rats (rattus rattus) of ahvaz district, southwest of iran: a preliminary study
background leptospirosis is an important zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic leptospira which can infect both humans and animals. this disease is caused by various serovars of leptospira interrogans sensu lato infection. rats are known to be one of the most important reservoirs and transmission sources of leptospirosis. however, the status of leptospirosis in wild rats has been unknown in man...
متن کاملA study on seroprevalence and coproantigen detection of Toxoplasma gondii in companion cats in Ahvaz area, southwestern Iran
Cats play crucial roles in the epidemiology of toxoplasmosis. In the present study, a total of 198companion cats of different ages were examined for serum antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii byimmunochromatography assay and for oocyst presence in faeces by microscopic examination (flotationmethod) and immunochromatography assay. The cats were selected between referred cases to the Veterinary H...

متن کاملExtended epigenotype in a Rattus novergicus – Toxoplasma gondii association
Several studies demonstrate that rats (Rattus novergicus) infected with protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii exhibit lesser fear to cat odors. This is thought to increase transmission of the parasite to its definitive hosts, i.e. cats. This is an example of extended phenotype where a gene of an organism allegedly creates a phenotype in another organism. We examined a possible proximate mechanis...
