Introduction: Toxoplasma is a genus of intracellular parasites, which was observed in the many types of mammalians. Toxoplasma protozoa that were detected from many types of rats have the equal phenotypic characteristics but have different clinical symptoms and genotypes. Mostly, domestic animals and rodents are the hosts in the reservoirs in the environment. The objective of this article was to phylogenetic identification of toxoplasmosis in wild-rats of Golestan forest using secretory antigens type 1 gene. Materials and Methods: In this surveillance, the researchers gathered 286 wild rodents from Golestan forest and earned DNA from brain and heart tissues to prove SAG1 gene from these hosts. They split these rodents into four groups and then analyzed the positive samples by the Polymerase chain reaction basis.
Results: In this surveillance, they discovered 24% of tissues of the wild-.. Read More»
