Toxoplasma gondii is an important pathogen of humans and domestic livestock and is a major cause of abortion. It is widely distributed amongst mammals and birds and the epidemiology of human disease is complex due to the interactions between human...

Wood mice Apodemus sylvaticus were trapped each September over a 13-year period, from 1993 to 2005, in a wooded area adjacent to Malham Tarn, Yorkshire, UK. Plagiorchis muris was found to be the dominant intestinal trematode and occurred in every yea...

Thesis
Morley, E. An investigation into the congenital transmission of Toxoplasma gondii within ovine populations managed on working sheep farms in the United Kingdom. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Toxoplasma gondii is an economically important parasite that can cause spontaneous abortion in sheep and humans. The importance of the different transmission routes of the parasite is unclear. However, three routes are recognised: (1) shedding of...
