Elevated Toxoplasma gondii Infection Rates for Retinas from Eye Banks, Southern Brazil.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We found significantly higher incidence of Toxoplasma gondii DNA in eye bank specimens from Joinville in southern Brazil (13/15, 87%) than in São Paulo (3/42, 7%; p = 2.1 × 10E-8). PCR DNA sequence analysis was more sensitive at locus NTS2 than at locus B1; a high frequency of mixed co-infections was detected.
