Molecular Diagnosis and Genotyping of Cases of Perinatal Toxoplasmosis in Mexico

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Toxoplasma gondii congenital transmission depends partially on parasite load and genotype. Both factors were examined in 4 mother/newborn pairs with perinatal infection acquired in central Mexico. Type I and type I-related strains were identified. These results add information regarding T. gondii strains prevailing in humans, although neither the genotype nor the load were related to vertical transmission or damage.
