Our current understanding of congenital transmission of Toxoplasma gondii from ewe to lamb dictates that infection frequently results in abortion and the death of the developing foetus, that the birth of live infected lambs occurs rarely and that the...

MGE-PCR : a novel approach to the analysis of toxoplasma gondii strain differentiation using mobile genetic elements (2001)
Journal Article

The position of mobile genetic elements (MGE) within eukaryotic genomes is often highly variable and we have exploited this phenomenon to develop a novel approach to strain differentiation in Toxoplasma gondii. Two PCR based strategies were designed... Read More about MGE-PCR : a novel approach to the analysis of toxoplasma gondii strain differentiation using mobile genetic elements.
