Molecular and biological analysis revealed genetic diversity and high virulence strain of Toxoplasma gondii in Japan.

Molecular and biological analysis revealed genetic diversity and high virulence strain of Toxoplasma gondii in Japan.

Toxoplasma gondii is classified into 16 haplogroups based on a worldwide genotyping study of the parasite. However, only a few isolates from Japan were included in this analysis. To conduct more precise genotyping of T. gondii, we examined the genotypes of Japanese isolates in this study. DNA sequen...
