Abstract | ||
The present study aims to isolate Toxoplasma gondii parasite and causing the experimentally infection and diagnosis of this infection by using the smear method and Real-Time PCR technique in different organs of white male rats such as brain, liver and testes . from aborted placentae of infected women and experimentally infection of male rats then diagnosed of this infection by impression smear that produced . The present study included 30 white male rats Rattus norvegicus aged ( 60-70) days averaged weight (200-250)gm . tissue cysts of parasite were presence in all prepared smears of brain ,liver and testes organs in different size and numerous numbers ,the percentage of infection by using Real-Time PCR was 26% in brain and 20% in liver and testes .this study was recorded the possibility of isolation of Toxoplasma gondii parasite and and diagnosis by using impression smears method and Real- Time PCR technique in different tissues of the organs of the experimental animals. | ||
