TLDR
The isolation of different genotypes from tissues and feces of two cats, suggesting re-infection or mixed strain T. gondii infection, is of epidemiological significance with respect to shedding of oocysts by cats.About:

TL;DR: Although there are some indications of a genetic population structure in Southeast Asian countries different from the rest of Asia, more studies in this tropical part of Asia will be necessary for a region which represent as well as Africa one of the missing links of the T. gondii genetic diversity.

All about toxoplasmosis in cats: the last decade.
Jitender P. Dubey,Camila K. Cerqueira-Cézar,Fernando H.A. Murata,Oliver C.H. Kwok,Yurong Yang,Chunlei Su +5 more
TL;DR: A unique genotype (ToxoDB genotype #9 or Chinese 1) is widely prevalent in cats in China and it has been epidemiologically linked to outbreaks of clinical toxoplasmosis in pigs and deaths in humans in China; this genotype has rarely been detected in other countries.

Toxoplasma and Africa: One Parasite, Two Opposite Population Structures
Lokman Galal,Daniel Ajzenberg,Azra Hamidović,Marie-Fleur Durieux,Marie-Laure Dardé,Aurélien Mercier +5 more
TL;DR: This review has compiled published data on T. gondii strains from Africa to generate a comprehensive map of their continent-wide geographical distribution and discusses the potential role of a number of factors in shaping this structure.

TL;DR: The results of the present study indicated a wide distribution of T. gondii infection in cats in Yunnan province, which may pose significant public health concerns.

TL;DR: This is the first report on isolation and genotyping of T. gondii from sheep and goats of Ethiopia and it is shown that tissue cysts in sheep and goat slaughtered for human consumption are widespread.

Toxoplasma gondii Comprises Three Clonal Lineages: Correlation of Parasite Genotype with Human Disease
D K Howe,L D Sibley +1 more
TL;DR: The population genetic structure of Toxoplasma gondii was determined by multilocus restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis at 6 loci in 106 independent isolates from humans and animals, indicating a highly unusual population structure consisting of 3 widespread clonal lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moving towards an integrated approach to molecular detection and identification of Toxoplasma gondii.
TL;DR: This review discusses some widely used molecular methods and proposes an integrated approach for the detection and identification of T. gondii, in order to generate maximum information for epidemiological, population and phylogenetic studies of this key pathogen.

Genotype of 86 Toxoplasma gondii Isolates Associated with Human Congenital Toxoplasmosis, and Correlation with Clinical Findings
Daniel Ajzenberg,Nadine Cogné,Luc Paris,Marie-Hélène Bessières,Philippe Thulliez,Denis Filisetti,Hervé Pelloux,Pierre Marty,Marie-Laure Dardé +8 more
TL;DR: To study the influence of Toxoplasma gondii genotypes on the severity of human congenital toxoplasmosis (asymptomatic, benign, or severe infection or newborn or fetal death), 8 microsatellite markers were used and type II isolates were largely predominant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Globalization and the population structure of Toxoplasma gondii
TL;DR: The evidence suggests that South American and Eurasian populations have evolved separately until recently, when ships populated by rats, mice, and cats provided T. gondii with unprecedented migration opportunities, probably during the transatlantic slave trade.
