Toxoplasmosis, caused by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, is one of the most common parasitic infections in humans. Primary infection in pregnant women can be transmitted to the fetus leading to miscarriage or congenital toxoplasmosis. Caref...

Genotyping of Toxoplasma gondii isolates from cats in different geographic regions of China. (2011)
Journal Article

Fourteen isolates of Toxoplamsa gondii were isolated from cats from 4 different geographic provinces (Anhui, Hubei, Shanxi and Guangdong) in China and their genetic diversity with 8 nuclear loci SAG2, SAG3, BTUB, GRA6, L358, PK1, c22-8, c29-2, and an...

An investigation in congenital transmission of Toxoplasma gondii as a potential mode of transmission in mice and humans (2011)
Thesis
Thomasson, D. An investigation in congenital transmission of Toxoplasma gondii as a potential mode of transmission in mice and humans. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Toxoplasma gondii is a pathogenic Apicomplexan parasite with a worldwide distribution in almost all warm blooded animals. The parasite is transmitted to hosts in three ways; via oocysts that are passed from the definitive host the cat; by the...

Prevalence and co-infection of Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum in Apodemus sylvaticus in an area relatively free of cats (2011)
Journal Article
Thomasson, D., Wright, E., Hughes, J., Dodd, N., Cox, A., Boyce, K., …Hide, G. (2011). Prevalence and co-infection of Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum in Apodemus sylvaticus in an area relatively free of cats. Parasitology, 138(09), 1117-1123. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182011000904

The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii is prevalent worldwide and can infect a remarkably wide range of hosts despite felids being the only definitive host. As cats play a major role in transmission to secondary mammalian hosts, the interaction b...

The best practice for preparation of samples from FTA®cards for diagnosis of blood borne infections using African trypanosomes as a model system (2011)
Journal Article
Ahmed, H., MacLeod, E., Hide, G., Welburn, S., & Picozzi, K. (2011). The best practice for preparation of samples from FTA®cards for diagnosis of blood borne infections using African trypanosomes as a model system. Parasites and Vectors, 4, 68. https://doi.org/10.1186/1756-3305-4-68

Background: Diagnosis of blood borne infectious diseases relies primarily on the detection of the causative agent in the blood sample. Molecular techniques offer sensitive and specific tools for this although considerable difficulties exist when us...
